Looking at various sources, I am not sure one can tell the difference, but do you have an opinion as to whether this is an Indian or Hobomok Skipper? Both look just like what I photographed as far as I can see. No other angles, unfortunately, as didn’t move until it flew off. …

Hi Seth,
We are posting your excellent image of a Skipper in the hope that one of our readers can provide you with an identification.
