ID this butterfly

[Peacock Royal]

Went to Bukit Brown cemetery area early this morning with a birder friend. When the sun was up, could see some common butterflies and skippers fluttering and zipping around but didn’t bother to shoot them except one.
Look like that place is going to be gone in a few years time. :-(

Here is the only shot of the upperside . Anyone want to id it ?
Will post the underside shot later.

Nice shot! It's been a long time since I encountered the blue forewing variant of this species... ;-) Didn't manage to get a better angle?

Too bad, "open wing" magicword didn't work, Richard not around leh.
