Looks like one of the Pyrrhopygopsis Hesperids.

Pyrrhopygopsis socrates is listed for Trinidad so it may be a race of that?

Looks like it might be a Guava Skipper (Phocides polybius) but the race looks different to the one that should be in Trinidad?!

Looks right, should be nominate Phocides polybius polybius on Trinidad?

It looks ok to me, what's the difference?

Edit, I just found on which doesn't have the red spots, perhaps two races are on Trinidad?
