Achalarus lyciades
I have to agree with bayuccas suggestion here (which is still a skipper) if you look at the position of the white on the hind wings! it is much nearer the middle on the silver spotted.
here's my silver spotted skipper, in case you want to compare: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/349...
hmm. it is possible you're right, though bayucca. here's a few sites that may help

i actually think this is a skipper, agree with despina...could be wrong, but, i'm fairly sure
Hesperiidae, Eudaminae, Achalarus lyciades. Very variable guy, but I only know this one with this frosty parts on the hindwing. The usual spots are a little bit smaler compared with tho ones from the link. Please, verify.
