Western Branded Skipper
Hesperia colorado

Observation date: June 19, 2021
Submitted by: glennfine
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: When I saw this I thought perhaps H. lindseyi based primarily on the color, but I think H. colorado oregonia can also be a creamy color and the pattern is a good match. I'll do a better job cropping and I've added a couple of views.
