Sighted this butterfly on a tree & i thought I found a new species, I even compared it with my PDA version of butt checklist on the spot & it doesn't match the Magpie Crow's photo.
But after checking C&P4, I think it's the female of Magpie Crow :)
Quote taken from C&P4 "The female is browner, and with more extensive white areas on both wings...The males are exceedingly common throughout Malaya, frequenting forest roads...The comparatively rare female is found only in the forest, and favors higher altitudes than the male."
I think all the photos in our checklist (http://www.b-pals.com/butts/spc_photo.php?spc_id=43&img_list_id=75) is male ;-)
