A list lurker sent me this link: http://www.toledo-bend.us/enlarge.shtml?caption=Silver-Spotted+Skipper+Butterfly&pic=gallery/skippers/IMG_40911w Looks like my skipper. At least, that's what I'm going to call it. One web site I went to noted that "positive identification can only be achieved through dissection of the male genitalia", which is significantly more involvement than I care for simply to get a photo caption (even though I did have a pathologist with me when I got this shot).
