Thank you Lauren for the ID and the great link. It was a lucky shot because it just landed there and as soon I took the first shot it flew away.
Something happened with the map - it is showing the right place ? on the map, but giving Mexico City as the site. Odd.
This link has both the male and female:

What a beautiful Skipper! It wasn't in Maza's book of Mariposas Mexicanas! He would have been sad about that. Great find.
