I encountered this in Mandai earlier today.
What struck me was the 'whiteness' of it. Is this a female Malay Baron?

It is an aberrant female Malay Baron.
The fuzzy (indistinct) inner margin of FW spot 1b excludes Tanaecia pelea/palguna.
The female of Euthalia kanda is very similar but have the FW cellend area white as well.

Ahh so.
Thanks Uncle Seow for the clarification!!
These Euthalia butterflies seem to be very variable, both in males and in females.
