Neptis hylas
found this small sized butterfly among maize fields.
Chun Malay Sailor find in North East states in India... May find it in Diganta's collection
Yes Ashish, this one does match with the spotting. :) Promptly changed as it does come under distribution as well. Thank you.
Chime.. actually I want to verify soma specie... now done... and changed my suggested ID... Its almost matching all white spots and cross bands...
Yes, i think it matches more with the chun's suggestion. But i guess Ashish is saying it based on the distribution of these butterflies.
I'm not familiar with either species but having checked online I don't think this is the Common Sergeant as this does not have the narrow patch at the top of the wing. The Malay Sailor does so I think Chun is correct.
They look too much identical.
I'm not very experienced with butterfly identification so I believe my suggestion have high chances of being wrong.
I'm not so good in butterflies and moths but that looks kind of like the Malay Sailor butterfly.
