Tithorea harmonia brunnea
Fairly common up to 1100 m. Attracted to bait. Markings are somewhat variable. Other subspecies may occur, especially in N areas.
Similar species: Heliconius species lack red on the 'back of the neck' and have shorter antennae, among other differences. Most 'tigerwing' Ithomiini are much smaller; some Melinaea are most similar but have more rounded FW, and patterns differ; they are also unlikely to be seen at bait.
