A very worn individual, but I'm fairly confident this is a Sachem, especially with that white dash on the forewing. They're very variable skippers.

These Grass Skippers are tough, but I think this is a Crossline Skipper - Polites origines.

The next best candidate is Tawny-edged Skipper - Polites themistocles.

but I think the hindwing is too light for that.
