Oops from my side, I spelled it 3 times wrong...

Should be Hyacinthinus...

Tx again, Bayucca. I've seen many purple/brown butterflies around, I think there are at least 4 or 5 different species, but they are hard to photograph.

Sorry, misspelling! No it should be correct... http://butterfliesofamerica.com/zera_hyacinthinius_hyacinthinus_live1.htm http://tolweb.org/Zera/95418

Very tricky one. Zera tetrastigma is very close, Zera nolckeni as well, but both are not really found in your aera. I think it is Zera hyacinthus: http://ihc.neotropicalbutterflies.com/Site%20Revision/Pages/SkipperPages/Skippers_Pyrginae_Group1/Skippers_Pyrginae_Group1_Pages/Zera_hyacinthinus.html
