Last skipper is nice.

Could it be the Caltoris cormasa?

I don't think it is the Caltoris cormasa as the size of the spots on the forewing appeared to be smaller and there seem to be no white spots on the hindwing for the Caltoris cormasa as well :thinking:

Nice blue sky shot on #3. The colours of the sky, orange skipper and green blade of grass makes for a nice colour composition. :)

Caltoris cormasa is a lot darker brown in colour, and the tornal area of the hindwing has yellow cilia (hair border). This one is probably one of the commoner Polytremis spp.
