Looks like a very torn up Bush Brown (Mycalesis) Can't ID it with that amount of damage and upperside shot.
Thank you!
Cheers,

The bowed dorsum (lower margin) of the forewing indicates it is a male. (as does the long narrow brushtip abdomen)
2 species in which the male have large clearer ocellus (eyespot) are M. visala & perseoides.
The species in which the eyespot is larger & with a clearer yellow ring is Mycalesis perseoides. This species is also more often shot.
