I am not 100% sure! Skippers are a nightmare to ID!

I find the skippers tricky - there are so many that look similar & some that can only be distinguished by geography. Thanks for the correction bayucca!

I don't think it is the Brazilian Skipper. The spots at the apex are too large for this one. I am not absolutely sure but I think it might be Paratrytone aphractoia, Snowball-spotted Skipper. Look at the spots and the distance from each spot to the others, looks very similar...
