I have Peterson`s Guide to E
I have Peterson`s Guide to Eastern Butterflies and one on Manitoba butterflies but didn`t feel confident with this one. Looking at distribution maps narrows the possibilities but even then couldn`t confidently put a name on it.

Arctic skipper/books
This one is pretty distinctive and range maps can be taken with a grain of salt. If you don't mind buying another book The Kaufnman Focus Guide "Butterflies of North America" is pretty good. I was given the "Swift Guide to Butterflies of North America" published in 2012. I haven't spent much time with it but I find most of the pictures are good
