In the late afternoon sun, I was trying to take pic of two very skittish Chocolate Albatross high up in a flowering tree when a third butt stopped by to feed on the flowers. At first I thought it was just a Painted Jezebel, but a close scrutiny reveals that this could be Prioneris philonome themana (Red Spotted Sawtooth). What do you think?

Thanks, Dr Seow and Les for the ID confirmation. :):redbounce

Thanks, Khew, Sunny, Anthony, Ben Jin, Loke, Ke-Yang and Brian for the congrats. :)
I was just lucky to be there at the right time to snap that pic.
It must be some kind of seasonal migration that brought the Chocolate Albatross and the Sawtooth there.
