Although this looks like a Baoris the subapical spots are white and prominent ,something seen in several Caltoris species .
In Baoris the subapical spots are not prominent.

Review .
ID uncerain probably Caltoris species.


Examples of Baoris showing weak subapical spots.

Mycalesis distanti.

Three species are marked with enhanced white striae.

Mycalesis perseoides.
UnF submarginal band highly serrate or undulate.
Spots generally smaller.
UnH inner margins of ocelli forms a jagged indentation from the white band.
Dark discal line irregular with several teeth.

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/3455338047

The other two have FW spot 2 larger, more so in the females.

Mycalesis visala.
UnF submarginal band somewhat irregular with several bumps.
UnF spot sometimes very large in the female (resembling M. distanti.
UnH inner margins of ocelli form a broadly shallow indentation
UnH dark discal line slightly irregular often with one tooth.

Mycalesis distanti.
Ground colour tend to be light greyish.
UnF submarginal band rather regular with little undulation.
UnF spot very large in both sexes,
UnH inner margins of ocelli forms a sharper triangular indentation.
Upper end of white band may be angled in.
Dark discal line weak often obsolete.

Probably female Allotinus horsfieldi.

Two species are similarly marked like unicolor.
HW postdiscal spot 6 is just under spot 7and FW postdiscal band is dislocated.

Allotinus horsfieldi.
Ground colour pale buff with the markings ochreous brown.

Allotinus leogoron.
Ground whiter and markings darkers giving a better contrast.
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1990465027
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/5104240276

Thereis great difficulty in judging the degree of contrast.
A. horsfieldii is common.
A. leogoron is much rarer.
