Well, actually, I was wrong in giving the subspecies name as D. c.
chrysippus Linnaeus. That is for what occurs here in the Philippines. Mr.
Nigel may be correct in saying it as form dorippus. My apologies.

Thanks to all who replied, both publically and privatly.  The overwhelming
consus is that I can't tell hooked antanae, and that it is a Danaus
chrysippus, though there is some disagreement about subspecies.
The photo was backlit, shot in Amboselli national park, I think, and it
would have been in Feb or March.
Thanks again all.
