I think they are the same species. But this one is a little bit older or had a rougher life until now. I now there are hairs, because the other one have ;-)... and I have never seen s skipper with red straps...

This one seems different from the oher one, at least to me. It doesn't have hair on its legs... and the head's color is different..
