Another skipper…

I’m still confusing Fiery Skippers with Sachems, but I think I’ve determined that it’s the undersides of the wings that provide the distinction. That said, I think this is a Fiery Skipper (“Hylephila phyleus”). Photographed in our garden with my new macro lens.

Confirmed at BAMONA as Hylephila phyleus or “Fiery skipper”; http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/927945
