Hi,

I have based by ID guess on the (somewhat confusing) previous BC thread (http://www.butterflycircle.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10726), in particular Seow's comment about
rusty red colouration and black-tipped brown antennae.

Any help greatly appreciated.

This is a perfect example of C. cormasa.
Note forewing is of a paler shade, whereas in many other spp. it is almost the same tone as the hindwing.
