Tx again, Bayucca. I've seen many purple/brown butterflies around, I think there are at least 4 or 5 different species, but they are hard to photograph.

Very tricky one. Zera tetrastigma is very close, Zera nolckeni as well, but both are not really found in your aera. I think it is Zera hyacinthus:
