Yes, it is M. sulkowskyi.
If it is from Peru, it would be Morpho sulkowskyi selenaris.

Looks like Morpho sulkowskyi hoppiana Niepelt, 1923 from South Colombia (Narino).
In Peru, according the new systematic, it's not Morpho sulkowskyi but M. lympharis with 7 subspecies and another one in Bolivia. The only M. sulkowskyi flying in Peru is M. sulkowskyi nieva Lamas & Blandin, 2007 (Alto rio Nieva, Alto rio Mayo).
Globaly, in the North (Colombia): Morpho sulkowskyi. In the South (Peru and Bolivia) : Morpho lympharis. With the said exception of M. sulkowskyi nieva in northern Peru.
Regarding the subspecies M. lympharis selenaris Le Moult & Real, 1962, it flies in Carpish, Palcazu, Pachitea (Huanaco, Peru).
