I can see aspects of why you suggest the sp. I am very familiar with C. filata. This does not seem like it. Even if it is worn I can't see how there is so little pattern on the hind wings. The black dots in the broad pale bands 1/2-way down the fore wings does not fit either. It does have me stumped.

Another problem is that C. filata has the notched hindwings see 4576652. I think I may have found the I.D. see 4576651

I think the pale patch at the forewing tip is more like that of C. leucophanes.
