Thanks a lot Byaucca and Dana !

This is not a moth, but a nice little skipper (Hesperiidae) butterfly. If you look at the antennae you may notice the tiny clubs, which is typical for butterflies. Moths would usually have feather-like or straight antennae. You guy looks a little bit worn, so closer ID is tricky.
