ID please

[Bluebottle]

Appreciate if someone can confirm the ID of this skipper. Thanks.
Telicota besta bina (Besta Palm Dart), Female?

[Psyche]

The ID should be correct.

The underside hindwing of the female of T. besta is ochreous with a greenish tinge which is poorly seen in photos, but discernable here.

The female of T. colon is similarly coloured, but forewing spots 4 & 5 are notched or distorted. (Also little overlap between spot 3 & 4, but hard to judge this here.)
Note the shape of spots 4 & 5 ,and the vein extension of spot 2 & 3.

Another one, dark shading incomplete; ?lighting effect.( colour too deep).

The female of T. augias is more orangey & the indentation on the upper inner margin of the hindwing band is smaller (more noticeable on the upperside).

This Ubin female is probably correct. Note more even duskiness.
