This Telicota species photographed at 1,200 m, Doi Phu Kha, n. Thailand.
I note the broad straight brand (which would exclude a couple).
I think this should be either T. colon or T. linna (the later being uncommon in Thailand).
Looks more like linna due to the lack of yellow streaking extending to the edge of the forewing in colon.
But I am not sure. Any comments on the ID appreciated please.

Male Telicota ohara jix.

The narrow straight brand is diagnostic of the male T. ohara.

Many thanks. Lack of experience had me thinking the band was relatively wide.

The male BRAND is the dark grey streak which is composed of specialised scent scales, not the orange BAND beside it.
