Ionolyce helicon. Probably female from the wing shape.

It is actually a male Naacaduba berenice.
Note dark straie in FW band are as dark as the submarginal spots.
It does looks like a female I. helicon but the FW band is not dislocated enough.
Male & female Ionolyce helicon.

Thx for the correction, Dr Seow. It's quite surprising to see N. berenice with such a wing shape.
