Hello,

I have another butterfly needing ID here. Captured in my backyard in Kedah, Malaysia.
Thanks and regards.

Hi jusni,

I have found one which seems to match, not sure if this covers your area.

The Grey Pansy (Junonia atlites atlites)

More pictures here, one showing the undersides of the wings quite well.

Hello,

Thanks for the ID, Wallaby. I must have confused this one with the dry-form. I guess I'll mark this one as solved and name this as Grey Pansy.

Regards,
Jusni
