Yes!!! I think Daniele got it...I was confused too when I first posted it and when Jellis sent the link I decided this was my weekend homework. Thank you Jellis and Daniele...this pretty butterfly now has a name.

Hi Sukanya and Jellis!

Limenitidinae, but in Limenitidini, not Neptini. They are confusingly similar but yet quite distinctive.
