Amauris albimaculata
It confuses me that all the Amauris that look similar to this spotting has two dots at the tip of the wing... Wingspan 5 cm
In a public park with different trees and plats, urban environment.
Amauris albimaculata? Amauris ochlea ochlea? I think an experienced eye need to take a look at this one ;)

So I am kind of single dot spotter ;-)...
I have tried as well, not a single one with just one single white spot. But there were quite a few at the place for the spotting. I hope to get some time to go back tomorrow and get some more shots. Would make things easier for us perhaps :) (oh, and I will never forget that you are the reason I am talking about spots in the first place, haha)
Definitely an Amauris sp., but I am not sure if yours really is Amauris albimaculata. Confusing is the single white spot at the edge of the forewing. Some other markings do not exactly match as well, but I did not find a nice match on bold.
