Hi Maggie - very tricky. I agree that it looks like Ocybadistes, and wonder whether it might be O.flavovittatus. The two species are supposed to be very difficult to tell apart. Perhaps Suzi will be able to give us a clue

Hi Maggie,
I find the Hind wing top pattern, clearly visible in your photo, to be the easiest for distinguishing between O. walkeri and O. flavovittata. O. walkeri has an extra spot just forward and to the outside edge of the wide yellow band. Refer:
