Not sure about ID but maybe a Fritillary

Butterflies and moths can only sip liquid food using a tube-like proboscis, which is a long, flexible "tongue." This proboscis uncoils to sip food, and coils up again into a spiral when not in use. Most butterflies live on nectar from flowers. Some butterflies sip the liquid from rotting fruits and a rare few prefer rotting animal flesh or animal fluids (the Harvester butterfly pierces the bodies of woolly aphids with its sharp proboscis and drinks the body fluids). http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/butterflies/allabout/

Hi Luis,
very nice shot.so sharp with good solors and DOF.
Hamid

Hallo Luis,
species identification is:
Hypolimnas bolina (Nymphalidae).
It is a nice butterfly, but sharpness/focus on the butterfly is not optimal. So, I tried a workshop. Please let me know, what you think about the result!
Best wishes,
Peter
