A dark brown skipper

Encountered this dark brown skipper in the nature reserve.
I am totally clueless about its ID. :hmmm:

Dr Seow, any ID assistance would be very much appreciated. :)

It is indeed.(size, dark body & cilia, & bulging palpi )

I remembered long ago I ID'ed one of this as Idmon distanti basing it on the light area on the underside forewing.

TL Seow:cheers:

Great! :gbounce:
Many thanks for the ID, Jonathan and Dr Seow. :)
