I shot this in Pulau Ubin and thought it's a Copper Flash (Rapala pheretima sequeira). But it's ovipositing on the Melastoma malabathricum, so can it be the Common Red Flash (Rapala iarbus iarbus)?24969

It is R. pheretima

R. iarbus is greyer, the black spot have an orange crown; the cilia are edged in orange.
