The Peacock Pansy is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family.

Its most notable feature is that it exists in two different adult forms with different underside wing markings. There is a wet-season and a dry-season form so it is possible that this evolutionary variant has occured to offer better camouflage in differing climate and flora conditions.
