Yes indeed, @Ingrid3 At my current location, I have seen 2 similar species, the other one just plain white wings and venation, but this one stands out more. Thanks for your appreciation :)

@Mark - I have seen several others similar to this, and the wings are of the same 'look'.

A fresh one still sorting out it's wings maybe?
