Thanks James. Definitely it helped me initially and got an opportunity to compare it with a similar species.
Sorry Dr. I was going off the coloration of tail and surrounding area. I am no expert but glad I could steer you to your choice of ID. Great image
Thanks James. Pl note that this specimen has subtle differences as compared to the ref.: the stripes are bolder, the 2nd stripes go right through the hind wings, the fringes are more fluffy, and the most important - the scratch marks. I've to go with O. sciticaudaria. Thanks anyway.
