Heperiidae, Pyrginae, either Systasea zampa or Systasea pulverulenta. http://nitro.biosci.arizona.edu/zeeb/butterflies/figs/Butterflies/Hesperiidae/Pyrginae/S_pulverunlenta.jpg http://nitro.biosci.arizona.edu/zeeb/butterflies/figs/Butterflies/Hesperiidae/Pyrginae/S_zampa.jpg I slightly would tend o Systasea pulverulenta, but I would not dare to confirm that from only this picture.
