If you still hope for outside help yes... otherwise put Hesperiidae

thanks Mark. Not much chance of that I'm afraid... Shall I just leave it unidentified?

"These species form a complex and exact species identity can only be determined by examination of the genitalia."

thanks Sukanya. I looked that up, and it does look similar, but I can't find mention of it being found in E. Africa. These Skippers are so hard to ID. So many of them, and a different spot here or there, makes all the difference! But then, I'm not much good with comparing images...

Pamsai, Mind looking up Telicota ancilla, commonly known as the Dark Palm Dart? I saw something similar in Kolkata, India a couple of days back...Fair warning: I may be completely off the mark.
