Jamides cf. elpis

[atronox]

Found this Jamides species near BTNR. Can't decide if it's elpis or alecto but it's more likely elpis from the thinner striae.

It is male J. alecto which is much the commoner of the two.
The thicker white striae are in the lower half of the FW making it difficult to see sometimes.
