Skipper identification, Algarve (1 Viewer)

Took these shots a few days ago near Lagos. I assume the first is a False Mallow Skipper (due to location) but I have no idea what the second, I assume, Skipper is (very much a novice with Butterflies) - any advice appreciated.

Skippers are tricky. I'd guess Gegenes nostradamus for the second (but I'll happily be corrected).
