I think this is Mallow Skipper Carcharodus alceae / tripolinus but would be grateful for correction / confirmation. Thanks

I did some checking and it seems that tripolinus is now known to occur along the coastal strip through Málaga and into Almería. Haven't yet found a scientific reference for it though.

As they are visually indistinguishable, I think the exact ranges of the two are poorly know. Eurobutterflies also quotes that they are thought to fly together in southwest Spain.
