Donald, This looks like the dorsal view of a Silver-spotted Skipper. The other image (above #1902398) submitted with this does not appear to match(?) on the FW dorsal wing surface (I compared both left dorsal FWs). Can you check the times on your images and try to confirm? Or maybe they switched on you? One appears to be on some green vegetation and the other may be on Rudbeckia. Thanks. Roy

Moved from ID Request.
