Do you have any shot from top view to study wing patterns better?

Chrysopilus cf. erythrophthalmus female. Very rare species of mountain forests with streams. But ID is not exact...

I don't believe in
C. erythrophthalmus, as I do not consider the pterostigma "outstanding large and dark" (
http://home.hccne...pilus.html). The
C. erythrophthalmus female in the gallery (
http://72.44.83.9...to_id=2578) looks different. The thorax pattern fits well the description "Female: thoracic dorsum on the front part with a broad grey stripe containing a small black stripe in its middle", that is
C. cristatus (syn.
C. auratus), a common species.

Yes, that was my second idea. But I have 4 erythrophthalmus in my collection as well as many cristatus, which has lesser spot on pterostigma. But, as I wrote earlier, without top shot to study the pterostigmal spot, exact ID is not possible.
