Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I wasn’t able to get a photo of the underwings, but in flight they appeared very orange. My first guess is a Russet Skipperling: the range is correct, the wing’s underside is fairly orange, and it spread its wings wide when resting. On the other hand, this has more spots and a lighter fringe. I am pretty stumped.

Coordinator notes: Kelly, your first instinct was correct. the extra spots may indicate a female. thanks!
