Tough one, I did some searching (only a few mins), but not obvious match yet. Posted 9 years ago

Yes, is it posible to add more than one picture to the spotting?
Otherwise, you can see the series of pics in this link:

  Yes it is as long as it shows it from a different perspective, not nearly identical. You can paste a link in the description to point out that it is the same specimen. In case of butterflies having both sides of the wings is the best for identification.
  
  No wonder it was so hard to find it, it seems to be a rare one. If we trust this guy, it is a Costa Rican Metalmark - Corrachia leucoplaga, fam. Riodinidae.
