From Doi Luang National Park, n Thailand this week. Primary forest at 600 metres.
When opening the wings the inside was coloured blue.
This might be a female Rapala pheretima? However, it does not look quite like my other images and is very dark. I would also have expected a third short bar on the forewing.
I feel I might have this wrongly identified.

Any other suggestions or confirmation please?

Many thanks for the correct identification. I had looked at Rapala rhoecus but thought the bands were the wrong width. Thanks
