cute!!. We have the Tennessee Warbler going thru as a part of spring migration. I am a little far off from where they are sighted :(

Thanks Dominik! The range checks out with bamona so I am sure you are right.

I only know one skipper with these typical spotted margins: Amblyscirtes sp. and I think it is Amblyscirtes hegon. Please, verify!
