Is this a Least Skipper? - Ancyloxypha numitor - Male
Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, USA
July 15, 2015
Found at White Rock Lake about a week after the one you confirmed as a least skipper. This one has a couple of slight differences so was not sure. Mid morning, mid July. This one has a spot on the inner wing that the other one didn't show.

That explains the slight difference then. Would it be ok to mark my other one as a female: http://bugguide.net/node/view/1135906
