Not sure I can rule out T. stereospila. Was the orange colour real or a photographic aberration?

Looks like a diffeeent image too. T. stereospila has sharp apexes on forewings which the second image has for the undamaged wing.

Apologies. Yes, it is another photo taken at the same time. The one posted was straightened and enhanced.
