The ID should be correct.

The underside hindwing of the female of T. besta is ochreous with a greenish tinge which is poorly seen in photos, but discernable here.

The female of T. colon is similarly coloured, but forewing spots 4 & 5 are notched or distorted. (Also little overlap between spot 3 & 4, but hard to judge this here.)
Note the shape of spots 4 & 5 ,and the vein extension of spot 2 & 3.

The female of T. augias is more orangey & the indentation on the upper inner margin of the hindwing band is smaller (more noticeable on the upperside).

This Ubin female is probably correct. Note more even duskiness.
