Black Beauty - _TNY_1864

I'm beginning to like these ones more and more. It is most likely a mylotes cattleheart (Parides eurimedes), but I can't completely rule out it being an anchises cattleheart (Parides anchises) instead as I only saw the dorsal side of the wings while it was fluttering around some flowers drinking nectar.

 

Without a flash, I am completely unable to capture fast-moving wings (as flash is prohibited at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden, where this was taken).
