Extracted from post by James, some finding:
One of the ID key gone missing in the 3rd shot. There's is no orange spot in space 7 hindwing, that lead me to think whether it's a Potanthus rectifasciatus or Potanthus pamela?

les, yr post no. 3, one photo showing the skipper with apiculus on antennae but the other without, are they the same specimen?

[Painted Jezebel]

Yes,SC, the same specimen. I think you will find that the the one without the apicalus is simply due to the angle of shot.
