Skipper butterflies come in numerous packages, I'm not completely sure about this I.D. I didn't want to know bad enough to catch the little guy for a closer look, it was enjoying the November sunshine and a sip of nectar.

Butterfly!

The skippers are mothlike in appearance but they are butterflies. This is the adult stage of the bean leaf roller, sometimes an agricultural pest.
