I'll take your word for it bayucca, thanks for another ID. It's cool to know which ones are the tough ones. Thanks Daniel!

Nymphalidae, Satyrinae, Satyrini, Steroma bega. Tough one!! You hardly can see any of the typical markings! But they are there, if you look very cearefully you will see them... Scalloped wings, "bulk" of the hindwing, very tiny triple white spots, darb upwards bow on the hindwing, color shades..., all ther but hidden! ;-)...

The wings look like an oil spill - beautiful!

The marking is very interesting.. Like a globe map.
