Carolina Satyr.

Normally a living Carolina Satyr has the eyes gray and not so dark looking, and that could be confusing in this individual, because the eyes in Megisto are black, and they look almost black here too. However, the wing pattern definitely makes this Hermeuptychia sosybia.

Carolina Satyr
I debated between Carolina Satyr and Little Wood Satyr, but my vote is for Carolina.
Compare .
