Skipper - ID please

You have a point there, Khew.
Just cannot find any image that would suggest it is T. ziclea.
However, here is an ineresting shot of ' T. ardonia ' by Kurt last year.
Note the hindwing postdiscal spots are rather large.

I forgot ziclea now falls as the junior synonym of T. luzonensis.

Here is the norminate subspecies of T. luzonensis from the Phillipines.

The book "Butterflies of Borneo", vol.2, no.2 has a plate for T. ziclea. Here is a cropped pic taken with my hand phone. Not a good qualify pic, but should give an idea of the size and arrangement of spots for both sexes.

Thats it.
The key differences of our local race T. luzonensis zenia from the female T. archias are that spots 4/5 are quite or almost detached, and the veins on the hndwing are darkened.

After looking at Horace's post, it would then appear that T. ziclea would more likely be confused with T. archias rather than T. ardonia! The spots are more orangey and larger compared to T. ardonia's more "spotty" appearance, which gives some basis for its common name of Spotted Grass Dart.

Thanks all for ID.
