Large butterfly brown and cream markings underneath contrasting to the white, cream and black on the upper side.
Savannah grassland Derby West Kimberley.
According to research its an eastern states species.
Certainly agree with your ID bayucca (female) and I did find references to 'Polyura pyrrhus sempronius' ie. sub species?
I think I'll let Martin check this though. Very messy and it's very much his thing.

Maybe some of the Australian ladies or guys might help with the actual taxon. I think it is Polyura sempronius, not Polyura pyrrhus?
Nymphalidae, Charaxinae, Polyura sempronius, sometimes also/still (?) called Polyura pyrrhus.
