This looks like a Banded Orange (Dryadula phaetusa) to me. There are no white spots on the forewings at all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dryadula_phaetusa Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago

The Banded Orange Heliconian

The "Dryadula" is a monotypic genus of the butterfly family Nymphalidae. Its single species is the "Dryadula phaetusa", known as the Banded Orange Heliconian, Banded Orange, or Orange Tiger. The Banded Orange Heliconian is native from Brazil to central Mexico, and in summer it can be found rarely as far north as central Kansas.
