@Ashish, could you also check the ID I suggested in pamsai's spotting - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16478137? Thanks!
AgnesAdiqueTalavera
Yes, thanks Ashish. Your link is very good indeed, thanks for sharing. I already bookmarked it. I just noticed the mismatched common name/scientific name because this spotting showed in my search for bushbrowns :-)

I have deleted wrong suggestion.
Ashish
You are right... I must be copy paste wrong specie.... I check and find that Bletogona is genus of Bushbrowns...
AgnesAdiqueTalavera
@Ashish, I think the link in your suggestion is for Melanitis leda (Common Evening Brown). Maybe a typo error in the scientific name used. :)

Shape is alike (cut shape at rear border of wings) Evening Brown butterfly..!!
Ashish
Such tailed Brown coloured butterflies classified into Sub-family Satyrinae... so easy to see find it in this family...once you feel in which family it is...!
Ashish
Always check how many legs on which Butterfly seated then its easy to know family. Here its an Nymphalidae butterfly... Read why it look 4 legged when it should have 6 legs... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphalidae
