The crackers can be deceiving. Check out http://neotropicalbutterflies.com/Site%20Revision/Pages/FamilyLists/NymphalidSubFamilyListBN/Biblidini_Tropical_Brushfoots.html#Biblidini and go down to the crackers. It could very well be this one.

Uy, what a coincidence! It looks a lot like the one I just posted from Mexico? I am going to check if is the same since I still did not know its ID. thanks for sharing! :-)
