Gordon, thanks a lot! According to the list you suggested and some literature on the local butterflies I found this might be Thymelicus sylvestris.

It's one of the skippers, but I'm not familiar with them in your area. You might want to try http://www.eurobutterflies.com/species_index_en.htm. Go part way down the very long list to the skippers and start looking for a photo that you think best matches your spotting. Good luck.
