These 2 individuals were found at 4300 ft. along with Ypthima sakra . They looked different than usual Ypthima baldus , rather dull scales without any shine. Are they still Y. baldus ?

Thank you, sir. I think this is a typical Pelopidas conjuncta . Could you have a look please?

Female Pelopidas mathias .
The ground colour is strongly grey with marginal pale shading.
There is a spot 7 which is not present in P. conjuncta.

Much larger.
FW spots large & yellowish .

Thank you, sir. I mainly thought P. conjuncta because of the purplish gloss it has and yellowish FW spots. Perhaps this one is P. agna then. Fond on same location, same time. This too appears purplish. Never seen P. mathias or P. agna this color before. Or maybe it's just my eyes. :D
