I have been looking at these 2 pics & comparing with pics in the Checklist of both omaha & serina, and honestly am getting a bit confused after an hour.
These 2 pics do look like the same individual, but I am not sure they should differ so much, left/right sides if so.
The difference are,
1 forewing spot in space 5 & 8 (near costal margin).
2 hindwing lowest spot of the band & central spot.
Both do look rather like P. omaha.
I do not know if there are P. omaha in which the spot in space 5 is short.
Will need to check on this & see.

In looking at more than a dozen typical P. omaha, I have not seen one in which the spot in space 5 is short.
The 2 pics can not be one individual.
The skipper in the first pic is also larger if both are taken at the same magnification.
In P. serina the female is usually the one with the veins more heavily darkened across the band, & thus closely resembles omaha.
Pic one is P. serina and pic 2 is P. omaha.
