Common Evening Brown

Nymphalidae; Satyrinae; Melanitis leda leda Linnaeus, 1758. The first photo shows a Common Evening Brown sitting at the entrance to a rice field. The other three photos were taken of another specimen of the same species in the rice field, just two or three yards from the first. I put them together in one spotting because the first picture gives a reasonably good representation of the species and the others (taken where a direct view was impossible) show how a different perspective can change the outline shape considerably.
