I apologize for being so nasty on a Sunday, but it is Calycopis isobeon.
Take #2 of this link:

and compare it with yours. You have carefully look at the two red lunules and the corresponding white line next to this lunules and compare with yours. In yours and Calycopis there is a zig-zag line (for the 2 lunules) and in Sangala there is no zig-zag line indicating it is actually a larger 1-spot and not 2 spots.
