Now that I see
your example, it should have been easy. Looks more orange than the last one you ID'd for me:


Thank you Randy, I should have checked your site first.

Fiery skipper?
I have seen some color variations on them, so this looks like it could be one.

That was my guess
But...I've misidentified so many things I thought it would be better to get a confirmation.

Thank you Charles!

Donna..
Don't know if my guess could be considered confirmation, but I am sure Cliff or someone else will be on tonight to give a definate answer.
