Hmmm
I don't think this is a Zabulon, as that species shouldn't have the huge stigma shown by this specimen. I think that indicates a male Sachem(1), but we don't get either species around here so I could be wrong.

Thank you, Joel! I've gone ahead and moved this image and my other recent skipper postings that you have provisionally identified to the Sachem guide page.

Sachem
I agree with Joel. The "big black blob" on the forewing of the male can be seen here and here.
