Field Notes

Description:

Plump, furry body. Wings have a white patch/band underneath that isn't visible in these photos.
I think this is a butterfly or skipper, since the antennae appear to be clubbed, but it could be a moth (are butterflies ever this fuzzy?).

Habitat:

Found on my back deck, resting on railing.

Notes:

Thanks for the ID, Eis4Xtreme!
