How about this one Nuwan, the indian or plains cupid ? Thank you.

Please, verify! I am not 100% sure! Check the range and check the row of spots on the forewing. Pandava might have a little broader spots as yours, but I cannot really judge yours due to the perspective. Do you have another picture? At least take it as a hint...
