Thanks stho002, I made new spottings by looking at the timings of the photos!

Also, the brown hind border of the hindwing looked different ..

The one with the open wings was the one which looked different! The others have clear windows above the white streak on the forewing, but that one looked dark there ..

Looks like more than one species in the photos!
