Looks something like Edward's Skipperling. Very small skipper. A number of these in flight right now.

Tropical Least Skipper
Both Edwards's skipperling and Tropical Least skipper are uncommon. This one appears to be a female Tropical Least skipper. Note large dark vertical slash at cell end of dorsal forewing.
