Any help will be much appreciated.:)
This is a rather huge skipper about same size as a Chocolate Demon ( Ancistroides nigrita maura ), it appears to have lost the lower part of the right hing wing .
It has the characteristic of a very long proboscis of a Chocolate Demon but what set it apart are:
1. The white on the antennae.
2. The markings on the forewing and perhaps the hingwing as well.
Normally I do not take torn skippers but the above unique abberations from a Chocolate Demon made me do it , here are 3 of the dozen of shots I managed before she/he scooted!
