Thanks for having a look.
This was Acraea violae (Tawny Coster). A migratory species from Thailand.

Very beautiful Stingrey, looks like everything matches perfectly. The background colors are just right for the subject IMO

Thanks Doug.
Was fortunate to spot it and think it's drying up the wings before the morning flight.
