https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/244303-Oreta-pavaca. Errors in ID here, with some griseotincta species listed as pavaca.
JD : agree with ID including subspecies. There are multiple colour forms & intermediates, vide Watson
Created species page. Not published, pending second approval.
YS: Agree with ID, matches the Song et al. paper and doesn't match oreta distincta, was a specimen was collected? seeing the underside color seems like it would help confirm the ID.
