ID
This is not Hesperia juba, females should still have the sawtooth pattern above, not the gradual blending of brown into orange shown here. This is Hesperia colorado.

Thanks, Mike -
I took a brief look at this and think you're correct. Has been a long time that I looked at these.
Working on some flies and bees from my garden right now, but will get to this shortly since I have a number of other Hesperiidae.
