cool... :)
Difference is very nominal, I see not a single black dot on upper side of orange colour..Good show..!!
I followed your lead and found that it is related to the Common Tiger and is called a Plain Tiger or African Monarch.
Thanks! I have no books to reference here, so it has been helpful to have people who know help.
