Not sure what you mean by "too typical," but the markings seem to match the bugguide photos for the inside and outside of the wings.

Hesperiidae, Hesperiinae, Hylephila phyleus, female, I would say or in my eyes the only candidate left after checking all possible Hesperiinae. The markings in the open wing shots are probably not so clear and typical like in others, but yet too "typical" for Hylephila phyleus.
I have tried to only add "matching" links...
Please, verify!!
