Should be Scarlet Flash female-too brown.

Post 85
1 Potanthus ganda male (hindwing veins not darkened,;forewing similar to mingo but mingo very rare.)
2. P. omaha female (hindwing veins darkened)

3 & 4(on white flower) possibly P. pava female. (fat abdomen ;slant -cut tip.)
Forewing band broad & straight.
Hindwing upper with large square spot in space 6 (upper end of band.)
Shape of hindwing band not as in P. omaha female.
Is this large as in Large Dart(P. serina) or P. trachala?
If so ID confirmed. If small possibly an unusual P. omaha.

Uncle Seow,thanks for the ids.

I think the flash is a Suffused Flash as the tornal spot is surrounded by orange, which is not seen in the Scarlet Flash.

The female Suffused Flash is yellow like this.
