Good shot Arjan. I will upload UP after some time. It looks like a moth. We saw it on third day of our visit and were not sure about the its designation. We decided that it is a butterfly with 80% suerity. On final day of leaving we decided it to be some of the Siren species. but it turned out to be The Freak Callinaga buddha. Winter Blyth (1957) regarded it as Very Rare. Also stated that it has been headech to taxonomist to place this species. Finally Arjan caught it and took a close up of the body. It showed first pair of brush foots, elongated maxillary palpi. But the antennae were bit different. It has typical glistening appearance. The scales on the wings are easily identifiable until looked too closely.
