@KristenGilpin Would you know a good online reference that could help to ID it in detail? And yes, it could be some kind of Heliconius since there where plenty around. Thanks so far!
@KristenGilpin Yes it was a butterfly garden with rather international 'residents'.
Was this taken at an enclosed butterfly garden with butterflies from around the world? That will help with any identification.
