@Ornithoptera80: I don't think it's Nacaduba kurava as Nacaduba kurava's termen of forewing and hindwing is straighter than this one's. @Sahana: However, I'm not exactly sure if it's Pale Ceylon 6-LB or Rounded 6-LB. An upperside view is required to say with certainty. Check pg 89 in the field guide.

I would go with Nacaduba sp. for now. Nacaduba kurava is also a possibility, but Nacaduba berenice is very close in appearance. https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/sp/567/Nacaduba-kurava https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?locale=en-US&place_id=any&subview=map&taxon_id=473919&view=species
