Pepper and Salt Skipper (Amblyscirtes hegon)

Member of Family: Hesperiidae

French common name: Hespérie  poivrée

While the male of this species is supposed to have a stigma on the forewing, it is difficult to distinguish it from the dark background colour.   I've taken a stab at separated the sexes based on behavior, wing shape, and body shape.
