In my experience with this genus, it can take a long time to come to a conclusion, there's many species as well as sub species with really subtle differences. You need to bring the heavy ammo:

(scroll down to Greta genus)
But before you do that, the ultimate Colombia butterflies resource:
https://www.butterflycatalogs.com/families.html
...for this one, you'd need this family:

These PDFs are huge and incredible, be sure to bookmark or download them. And as you scroll down to Greta and scroll some more, you'll find there's more clearwing genuses, and yours likely is not Greta at all, insead Ithomia sp.
Spoiler alert.

Looks like a full match, nice! Entirely different genus. Looks possibly endemic to Colombia. Posted 2 years ago
