anyone got any ideas which one of these 2 ID's this Skipper is?
pamsai
thanks Jolly. Will check that out when the internet improves!

Pamsai, look at the white markings on your spotting. Its Borbo cinnara. The suggestion of Ashish has 5 distinct spots on lower wing. Yours does not have that.
pamsai
hmm, thanks Jolly and Ashish. Looked at both the links you provided, and to me, both these Skippers look the same, but have different names. Not sure what to do next!
