  1. This is a butterfly from the family Nymphalidae > Limenitidinae. There are many similar species in a couple of genera and I am not able to tell which one it is from this photo.

"Neptis hylas", the common sailor, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in the Indian subcontinent and southeast Asia. It has a characteristic stiff gliding flight achieved by short and shallow wingbeats just above the horizontal.
