Comment:   Could be C.phaeus as well, but we collected 6 males (kept only 2) when we were there in April and all were C.vansoni based on the upperside spots that were blue and not white or creamish in colour. Therefore I'd put my money on C.vansoni. Note that A.nigrescens is also present so both species are likely to be there.
