Skippers aren't my strong point, but
this is definitely not Poanes. It is an Atrytonopsis. It's hard to be certain of species, because much of the front wing doesn't show, and there is no view from above. However, it looks like A. deva to me, which is common in the uplands in central and se. Arizona. Another option might be A. vierecki, but it seems perhaps a bit "off" for that one.

Thank You, Moved
Wow! This seems to be a rather dark specimen and also extralimital. Thanks for the help Lep cer.

Moved from ID Request.

Probably Poanes melane
Probably Poanes melane, the umber skipper. Good job!
