Epiphile orea
A bad photography, but the only one I got of this butterfly.
Oh, I never told that Natural history is an easy job! It is maybe not really a rare species to spot, depending where you are living, but it is not often seen on the internet with a good picture.
Bayucca, do you really think this a rare or not often seen butterfly? I saw quite a dozen around here...
Some more links, #2 is a little bit a lazy one ;-)...

OK, job done! Epiphile orea negrina, male! I will check your other one, if it is the same one...
Thank you, Nopayahnah. I only expressed my frustration, because it is so hard to get them with wings fully open...
