This very small and very pale skipper might be worn out and missing many of it's scales. Species it might help to confirm this. About 8mm long. Resting on grass blade.
In a local nature reserve.
Yet to search for this one... Hesperiidae... possibly Green grass-dart Green grass-dart (sothis) http://www.photoree.com/photos/permalink...

Oh no!... thanks for trying. I've burnt my 30mins for this one too. Ha yeah that underside looks good. Maybe it's upside down and doesn't know it. These little hesperiids are a pain to ID.
Spent half an hour on this one, like to make it difficult dont we :-) Perhaps Taractrocera papyria from the underside?
