Billo you should go with bayucca ID, it is the correct one. Fatal Metalmark.
Yes @bayucca I'm sorry for not have more photos of this butterfly :( but thank you so much for your help & thank you too @LuisStevens you two are awesome! :)
Riodinidae, Calephelsi sp.. This one looks for me more like Calephelis nemesis. But as I commented on earlier Calephelis sp. this is a very tricky genus and I am not sure if one can really ID them without the native specimen. You might add Calephelis sp. and mentioned the possible candidate (s). Best match: #1 of this: http://butterfliesofamerica.com/calephelis_n_nemesis_live1.htm http://butterfliesofamerica.com/calephelis_n_nemesis_live2.htm Another good match #3 of this: http://www.naba.org/chapters/nabast/fametal.html
