Potanthus omaha male.
The right HW have the veins across the band darkened.

Can this be a Caltoris cormasa?

The sinuate wingshape ,banded abdomen & colour indicate it is Baoris.
The two species can be very confusing.
Baoris farri generally lighter brown ; spots often more complete.
In India where B. oceia is absent, the two below are B. farri males.

Probable ID. Baoris oceia male.
Note there is only one tiny subapical spot (spot 6) The individual is very worn & faded.
