Here is one candidate: Pelopidas sp.. I do not have much time, Wednesday is Orthodontics day, so, please, verify yourself and focus first on Swifts. These unicolored skippers without any remarkable patterns are sometimes a nightmare. Pelopidas conjuncta? Pelopidas mathias, which I prefer after the short search. But I am not sure about the genus, just take it as a hint and wait for other suggestions/comments... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pelopi... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:D...

Baoris farri looks not bad for the spots on the forewing, but the hindwing does not perfectly match.

What about Rice Swift?? Borbo cinnara, for my eyes until now the best match!

Nice capture, the macro is brilliant

Definitely a Skipper and it looks like some kind of a Swift, however, I do not know much about Swifts besides the name ;-)... Keep on Hesperiidae.
Thank you Bayucca. So, Zabulon has been ruled out. I think this is Skipper (butterfly).
Sorry, no, Zabulon is a species of North and Central America and not found in India.

Please help!
Is this Zabulon Skipper (Poanes zabulon) ?
