ID help - South Texas - Sabal Palms Sanctuary
My son and I birded and bugged the newly reopened Sabal Palms Sanctuary in South Texas this last weekend. I was hoping to see many butterflies, but didn't. I did get a shot of one and I think it is a spread-winged skipper. Looking through my "Butteflies of the Lower Rio Grande Valley" by Roland H. Wauer, the closest I could come to was the Sickle-winged Skipper, but the coloring/patterning on my butterfly doesn't quite match. I was wondering if someone could help me with the ID?

Thanks so much for any help!
