Difficult to tell from the markings visible, but it is a species of the Papilio echerioides/sjoestedti group. Maybe Thierry can identify it from the underside.

I'd say Papilio sjoestedti, female.

Note that sjoestedti is quite possibly only a subspecies of fuelleborni.

better is to determine it on a set specime R/V ?
better fuelleborni ssp than others, let see with te specimen set (does she have the marginal HW series of dots on the recto ?)

Thanks for that guys. I do have many male papilio sjostedti so having a female does make sense. I just wasn't sure as the markings were different.
thanks again
