I have checked the one's at the ashram - they have a shaded area on the leading edge of both front and back wings as in the one on the rock.
I think I can just about make out similar spots on the one with the bird mauled wings.
Separated but such large distances I would be inclined to believe that they were not the same species despite their similarity. This may result from identical solutions to a fitness problem being discovered in each area by the process of natural selection.

We also have maroon ones at the ashram here - which is kind of odd as you have to wear a maroon robe to get in.
Which one's which?
I guess the one on the rock is from Cuba.

Does anyone know any better?
