Impossible to tell without underside. Probably Platylesches moritili but could also be P.neba or even P.robustus. Nice photo though! |

I'd put money on it being neba. Those cream hindwing spots are a good ID character. Check the pic on p403 of my book - that's a bred specimen. |

The upperside looks very much like P.neba but P.moritili from one location has spots ranging from white to creamy to yellow. Not sure the upperside (or for that matter the underside) can be used for an accurate ID! |
