Pattern of the Northern White Skipper doesn't match this one.

Thanks for the feedback ,Mark. In fact I returned two days ago and escaped the heat. it was getting real hot. We had an unusual pouring of rain.Very unseasonable.Definitely climate change!!
The project Noah map does give me a hard time and is very resistant to change.This skipper was seen in Concord,ca at the foothills of mt diablo.

Hope the heat isn't too much there yet. It's coming to the season. This one looks like Spialia galba
