I believe this is probably a Juvenal's, though could possibly be Horace's. These duskywings and the brown grass skippers are among the hardest to id in my experience. I have 3 butterfly books - the Audubon Guide, Peterson's and the Kaufman one - all are excellent references as well as a myrid of resources on the web. Good luck and keep shooting them.
