This is the only species that matches up well in the books.

Thanks Tom.
It's hard not having my field guides to refer to! All my books are still in storage. :(

Looks like
a Taxiles Skipper, but the range maps only show it going up into Wyoming, and not as far north as Montana. It could be a late season wanderer north, because here in Ma. we get Ocola, Fiery, Sachem and others late in the season that the range maps show south of us.
