Any underwing shots?
This is a nice fresh individual, which helps in the identification. From this view, it could be a female Clouded, a Wirlabout, or Tawny-edged Skipper. The combination of dorsal and ventral shots would nail it down.

Nope
All my images of this specimen are in this position. Several days previously I found what is probably the same species, also in the same position . Thanks for your help.
