This is the original Heliconius melpomene cythera: http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/heliconius_melpomene_cythera_types.htm Yours looks similar. As scientific ID we might be on the safer side with just Heliconius melpomene.

Heliconius melpomene and most probably a hybrid of Heliconius melpomene cythera.
