The orange/red color of C. cydippe is rather variable, particularly between genders and there are many subspecies. Your spotting is lacking the row of black dots on the hindwing typical of C. penthesilea. The black color is very solid in cydippe. The wiki link gives a drawing of C. cydippe but a better image is here. http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Aus...
