It is Calinaga species and if it’s from Vietnam it could be Calinaga buddha. All species of this Genus look similar.

Wow, that was FAST paul !

Once again, I am indebted to you for your broad knowledge
of butterflies (especially those from S.E.Asia).

These are very unusual-looking Nymphalid butterflies which
somewhat look a bit (moth-like).

As always, I very much appreciate your help and I am grateful
for your input.
