Common Roadside-Skipper? - Amblyscirtes vialis - male

Common Roadside-Skipper? - Amblyscirtes vialis - Male
Crawford County, Michigan, USA
May 25, 2013
Is this a Common Roadside-Skipper? If not, what? I've never seen a roadside-skipper before, so this is foreign territory for me. I think I see a stigma, so I'm assuming it is a male.

Looks like one to me.
Boldly checkered fringes and forewing above has spots on leading edge as well as large triangular spot. The above descending spot band with several spots indicates female but not an expert.
