Sorry, I don't usually post photos I haven't IDed, but I'd never seen Callicore before this year, and I wanted to share :) Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

It has an overall match with the eyes, and the eyes being in an island fully separated from any other pattern. Yet I admit others in the genus come close to this as well. The other visual factor is that your individual is quite pale, compared to the typical deep yellow found in the genus. This pale color I've only been able to find in Callicore hystaspes.
Do consider it a suggestion, would definitely await extra input, preferably from a real expert :)
By the way, if you haven't already, go here...

And download all those PDFs. They are huge, and incredible. You won't regret it.
Finally, can you please fix the geotag?
