    This yellow skipper has unusual markings, especially on its lower hind wing. Unable to get an upper wing shot. What could it be?

    Could not get a underside shot but can confirm that it is Potanthus. Which Potanthus, please?

    The sinuate wingshape ,banded abdomen & colour indicate it is Baoris.

    The two species can be very confusing.

    Baoris farri generally lighter brown ; spots often more complete.
    In India where B. oceia is absent, the two below are B. farri males.

    Baoris oceia; generally darker brown ; spots more often smaller & reduced.
    B. oceia males ,Singapore.

    Probable ID. Baoris oceia male.
    Note there is only one tiny subapical spot (spot 6) The individual is very worn & faded.
