You are quite right, it is Pithauria straminiepennis.
Because it was thougt to resembles Onryza, I was thinking small.
Here are the two for comparison. Note the FW chequered cilia of H. burmana.

Thank you Anthony. The Windmill is really massive. And I miss the other one, the "common" Windmill, actually not so common.
Federick. The day I got the Paris and the upperside of the Royal was the end of October. I was alone there.
Excellent shots, LC, Antonio, Fed.

CD27 ID Correction.
Udara rona catius.
Monodontides can be discounted because it has a spot near the base of space 1b (where twin spot are.)
The 2 Udara species with lunulate submarginals & in which HW postdiscal spot 7 is not much larger nor darker than many of the others are U. dilecta & rona.
U. dilecta tends to be whiter & the spots often reduced.
