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

: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.
