Probably Brazilian Skipper
based upon faint spot pattern on HW below, reddish brown ground color, wing veins, and abdomen appearance.

Both worn and damaged
Probably Crossline skipper female but condition prevents a definitive ID. Lots of similar skippers and could be something exotic like Ocola skipper..
