This skipper is similar to the one Rustic posted (http://www.butterflypals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=493). Posting 8 pics here in the hope that some might be useful for iding.

Seems like this unid skipper might be a Taractrocera spp.. Doesn't seem to have hook on the antennae. :thinking:

Can post your shot? Any upperside view of the wings? ;P

I don't have complete upperside view for iding. All the shots that are useful are here. :-(

:hmmm: I'm suspecting Oriens gola pseudolus (Common Dartlet) (Pl 59, #7,8), but don't seems to have apiculus. Without proper upperview, very difficult to id. Common Dartlet is on the Sg checklist.
