Hmm, not that I am a wimp, but take Carcharodus cf. alceae.
OK, thanks. I've put it as C. alceae.
Other Alceae:

If I had to choose, I would tend to Carcharodus alceae or Carcharodus baeticus. But all these Carcharodus are almost impossible to ID without genital dissection. The markings are variable and ange not always reliable and your location not really helpful. If you wanna be on the safe side, just take the genus.
I did a re-check and looking at the markings I think yours is Carcharodus alceae. Take a look at this one:
