Similar to Caligo telamonius, the Pale Owl Butterfly, but this one is not coming down so far to the south. The only one with this typical white patch and no black around the eye is Caligo martia: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lomo56/3878607052/in/set-72157621007012167 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Caligo_martia.jpg
