Arhopala ID pls

[Banded Yeoman]

I hope I am not too tedious with these UFOs.

I cannot find any match in the book. the dark angled spot on the hindwing looks like no other in the book too ... ...

Sorry for the poor quality image. It is already heavily cropped.

Thanks! It was a chance shot, when the butt opened the wings as my flash startled it.

Haha. You never know what you are chasing so it always good to just shot it.

That time we had just heard from Uncle Khew about the mystery arhopala hostplant and then we saw it I got all excited and thought that was it.
