I'm not 100% sure the typical Metasia wing pattern is present here. Another possibility may be Cryptaspasma sordida .

The 2 central dark spots and marginal arc of black spots, all on the forewing, look like useful features. I can only see the central spots on C. sordida.

'Right shape, E. trophoessa has a small orange wingspot on forewing and bright orange hindwings which we can''t see here.
