I think that little guy is a moth rather than a butterfly.

Yes maybe a red wave?

I agree the markings by the forewing tornus indicate a Taxeotis species, but I think the folding of the forewings and the illumination angle make it impossible to see the forewing pattern clearly enough to distinguish the species.
