Eantis tamenund
I know that brown butterflies aren't very attractive but I think this one has a beautiful pattern. 35 mm wingspan.
Flowering plants in forest edge.
Thank you Bayucca for you very appreciated help with the ID and the link. I'd never seen one before but I knew it was an interesting one.
Hesperiidae, Pyrginae, (Achlyodini?), Eantis tamenund. Extremely confusing taxonomy! Once it was called Achlyodes thraso and you will find a lot of pictures with that ID. Achlyodes mithridates is also a synonym and there is also a Achlyodes mithridates thraso from Brazil, which, however, looks complitely different. I think we can trust the taxon Eantis tamenund from BOA...
