M0ost likely male Caltoris malaya.
The specimen is rather worn. There is a quadrate yellow spot 3 visble.
What appears to be a cluster of large spots in the FW cell are artifacts, injury marks.
The underside is quite dark suggesting C. cahira.

C. cormasa :FW spots yellowish; Underside HW deep reddish tone; antenna with pale area.

The strongly bowed FW & more uniformly dark coloured antennae & wings indicate it is Baoris oceia.

The FW spots are whitish but can appeared yellowish at times.
