Does anyone know what kind of skipper this is? I think it is a European Skipper.
Thanks

A stunning photo
Thanks to the extremely high quality of this photo I believe we can rule out European Skipper. Europeans have duller wings and body not as orange. Also no markings on underside. Could be a Tawny-Edged but I believe it's a Crossline Skipper Polites origenes.
