Not sure on this skipper. Seek app told me Brazilian skipper - Calpodes ethlius
Brevard County, Florida, USA
August 6, 2021
Found in the wetlands but not 100% on the ID

Seek
Seek was probably keying on the elongated forewing and the location.

The four spots on the hindwing are not easily visible in this photo, though there appears to be at least the shadow of the spots in the right location.
(Even after I took it into Lightroom, I could not bring the spots out any better.)

However, the spots on the forewing are visible. This tends to eliminate Monk Skipper.

With Monk eliminated, Brazilian is highly probable with that forewing.

On the submission form:
Check all the following that apply to this image:
If you don't know for sure, don't check it. For example: for caterpillars check immature and for butterflies and moths check adult. If the photo shows mating behavior, check both male and female. Representative photos appear on info and browse pages (checked by default).

I checked the adult box for you but I do not always catch it.
