Not so memorable but it is to me, because my new butterfly garden is attracting butterflies...this one is a medium size.

Thank you so much for the ID, bayucca. It is very difficult to tell the difference between, Actinote guatemalena and Actinote melampelos, but I will place the ID as you suggested because you are always right and I believe the markings on the wings are closer looking to mine.
Tricky one! I think it is Actinote guatemalena. Other candidate would be Actinote melampelos, but this one is more bicolored. http://butterfliesofamerica.com/actinote_melampeplos.htm Please, verify!
