JD : agree with ID
SS: Agree with ID but the MOT vol 5. key features separating malayana and remicauda are not so visible. The costa and bases of remicauda are pale brown (in MOT image and OD), while in T. malayana the costa is pale brown basally and then darker brown. Diagnosis (as per MOT, vol 5). The submarginal area, which touches the upper silver spot, is pale orange-brown and curved. Uploading an image from Arunachal where this feature is much clearer.
