Giant Sicklewing would be the more common name.

Sorry, pal, I wish it was more challenging... but thanks for the ID.

Some other from Ecuador (but not subspecies rioja). http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Amazon%20-%20Achlyodes%20busirus.htm

Ok, Bayucca, I think this is a really tough one - just because the photo is so bad. I tried to enhance it a bit, but with no good result.
