It is Telinga lepcha but looks to be ssp. lepcha.
Evans described ssp kohimensis as having white unchecked cilia & very dark on both surfaces.
Unusual with the postmedial bent.

Ok thank you so much sir...but subspecies lepcha is not distributed to Northeast India... north-eastern subspecies seems to be kohimensis...and i photographed it in Meghalaya, North east India...
If you look at funet. ssp lepcha extend into Nepal & ?Bhutan & ?Assam.

The link doesn't open...may be some technical errors...Are these records in the website, tentative or confirmed with type locality... thank you
Okk thank you so much sir...actually during British India time, all the seven states of Northeast India was designated as Assam...so sometimes its really difficult to evaluate the exact type locality if it is given as Assam... nevertheless thank you so much for your kind efforts and help...
Cheers
