I am not really confused, but to ID skipper it is always best if you have different views of all 4 (!) wing sides to check the size and location of the markings (spots, patches and stripes). Maybe Leena or Agnes can help you out..., I am actually already on holidays...

Hesperiidae, Potanthus sp. and looks like being Potanthus niobe. Please, verify, the perspective is a little bit tricky to see all the important markings. http://www.flickr.com/photos/obsidiansoul/5689445179/
