Another UFO skipper

[horace2264]

Shot this skipper today and it seems to be a Caltoris sp.. I didn't get a chance to see the upperside though. :thinking:

Dr Seow, could this be C. bromus?

[Psyche]

It is too reddish to be C. bromus.

It is the same female which I am wondering could be C. plebeia.
Here is the other similar example.

It is not C. malaya female which is more ochreous.

It looks like C. cormasa female but this species is noticeably darkened on the HW.

It would have been great to see if FW cellspots are absent.

TL Seow: Cheers.

Thanks, Dr Seow for the ID suggestion. :)
Unfortunately, the skipper did not stay long for me to take more pics to check for other features such as FW cell spots.
Hopefully, I will get to see it again in the near future.
