Thanks bayucca, I mistook it as a moth due to its hairy body and thanks for the I.D. too.
Hesperiidae, Tagiades sp. and looks like being Tagiades gana. It is not a moth, but a skipper butterfly. The antennae are not as typical as usual for a skipper, but you might see a little and slim hook, which is typical for a skipper. Moths usually have filamentous/straight or featherlike antennae. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flat_nagerhole.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qwJytEAdyAs/TuNoOId4clI/AAAAAAAAE_w/w1Bxu-Gm-Uo/s400/DSC3121-Large-Snow-Flat.jpg http://richard-seaman.com/Wallpaper/Nature/Butterflies/Skippers/LargeSnowFlat08.jpg http://butterflycircle.blogspot.ch/2013/09/life-history-of-large-snow-flat.html
