Male Psinidia fenestralis.
I will venture that this is a male of Psinidia fenestralis. Please compare with existing images in the guide. Nice shots!

 
Thanks Eric
I thought it looked like my other picture, but it seemed smaller, probably male compared to a female. I got as much of the wing as I could. Is there a good way to get a full shot of the wing, short of photographing a dead specimen?
