Brazilian Skipper?

Thanks to everyone who's been trying to positively ID my picture.  

I emailed two more pictures to Lenny. Maybe they'll help with the ID. A few 
southern friends seemed to think it was a Brazilian skipper too and they're not 
often mistaken.

Perhaps he arrived in a shipment of Cannas at a nearby nursery, but I can't 
imagine a nursery in CT bringing in Cannas late enough in the growing season to 
account for this individual.

The same day I saw a Long tailed skipper at Harkness in Waterford and another 
in my Niantic backyard.  I'm thinking they rode the same strong warm airmass 
right into CT and my lucky backyard. I also had several Cloudless Sulphurs and 
one PVS this fall too!
