Clouded Skipper - Moved
On the ventral view violet-gray frosting. White costal dashes in the vicinity of the "wrist bracelet" on the FW leading edge.

The second photo shows the dots on the dorsal FW. Besides the "wrist bracelet" there are two dots in the vicinity of the central FW. The innermost dot is larger and often irregularly shaped. I suspect this is a female because the dots are so prominent. (The stigma on males is difficult to see.)


Moved from ID Request.
