p.1 #1 · Swazi B&W butterfly

Hi there,

We noticed this one near a pool in the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary in Swaziland and we don't have the faintest idea what kind of butterfly it is. I would really appreciate if somebody is willing to tell me how it is called.

Update: It's a Common Sailer "Neptis laeta" (ID with the help from Brian an Steve, thanks guys!)

Canon EOS 5D Mark II, f/8 @ 100 mm (100L IS), 1/250, ISO 400, (cropped)

'Fraid I can't help with an ID, Rob, but that's a lovely shot.
