It's part of a large mimicry ring that includes Ithomiinae, Heliconiinae, and even various Papilionidae, Nymphalidae, Pieridae, and moths. Do you have a larger photo? It appears to be a species of Ithomiinae, which I am not good at identifying.

The area in Brazil it was collected may be important in helping someone (not me  ) to identify it, as well as an underside photo. Adam. |

I suppose it is Hypothyris ninonia daeta.

Hypothyris ninonia daeta looks good, this is a specimen a friend needed help identifying.
Therefore I only have that picture and the location of Amazonia, Brasil.
Thanks for your help!
