Ok, bayucca, I know you enough to challenge your opinion, so I'll take that. But, I'll have to fix my older spot...

Unfortunately it is the other one: Philaethria sp., and most probably it is Philaethria dido, the Scarce Bamboo Page. It looks very similar to Siproeta stelenes, but it has different wing form and some other marking. But careful: There are some other Philaethria around. So to be very exact it is Philaethria sp.
