Mulberry Skipper male
Similar skippers, Dun and Two Spotted males have distinct stigmas whereas Mulberry does not. Bright reddish orange basal edge of FW with contrasting shiny black above and reddish yellow subapical spots support Mulberry too.

underside?
Need an underside shot but the almost immaculate dark FW may mean a Mulberry Wing. did this have a yellow marking underneath?
