Fluttering about, then moving about in this bush, would not stop moving whilst i was watching it. Location may not be exact.

Uresiphita ornithopteralis is the only small species I know with yellow hindwings edged with black, but I have not seen any specimens of this species with the cryptic forewing pattern shown in photos 1 and 2.
