Zabulon Skipper
This looks a lot like a female Zabulon Skipper to me. Compare:

But, I guess there's not much difference between the way each of them look.

They do look
very much alike. The white areas on the top of the forewing seem to be larger on my images of the Zabulon female than they are on the specimen in my image above.

White Area
I noticed that, too. Now, I'll have to keep on the lookout so if I see one, I don't confuse it with a FemZabbie myself!
