P. cresphontes isn't found as far south as your spotting, which is why I left my suggestion. They were previously thought to be the same species which is probably why Lucky Logan suggested cresphontes
Actually, I didn't know P. rumiko has only recently been discovered as being a different species than P. cresphontes. http://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?..., which is probably why range data for that species isn't complete. I am fairly certain after looking at Papilio cresphontes' former range that this is rumiko.
The range for Papilio cresphontes isn't that far south. Papilio rumiko's range is much closer to Colombia, but it either has not been recorded in Colombia yet or it is a different (though nearly identical) species. Here is a range map comparing the species: http://zookeys.pensoft.net//lib/ajax_srv.... It could very well be a different species; I am not an expert, but I think at least it is not P. cresphontes.
