Ocola
This is an Ocola Skipper, IDed by the distinct crescent shape of the large forewing spot.

Skipper
I would say it's either an Ocola Skipper - Panoquina ocola:



Or what I'd guess it be, a Twin-Spot Skipper - Oligoria maculata:



Maybe someone with more expertise in your area will weigh in on this.

Skipper
It seems to match both of those species very closely. I don't know much about butterflies though, so I have no idea how to tell them apart (maybe someone else will?). Thanks for the reply.
