Parides eurimedes
large butterfly, I've added ventral view shots which I'm pretty sure are the same species.
pacific coast rainforest
This was a tough butterfly to capture. It often flew high and rarely landed. Iw as lucky to get these shots from a distance. They have been cropped for a better view. San Cipriano forest reserve
Papilionidae, Parides eurimedes and might be Parides eurimedes mycale (only northern Colombia, so probably not this one?), Parides eurimedes antheas, Parides eurimedes arriphus (probably not, spots looks a little bit different), or Parides eurimedes emilius:
