Having a hard time IDing this one!

The photos don't show this skipper's full features; but the largest FW spot makes me think it is an Ocola Skipper.  Cheers, Charlie

Hey Everyone,
 
I came upon this skipper this morning at Fort De Soto Parkin Pinellas County, FL.  It was found in a field of flowers a few hundred yardsfrom the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.  Any ideas?  It did NOT want to show theunderside of the hindwings!  The forewings above have a distinct pattern oforange spots.  The photos attached are compressed; here*s a link to theoriginals.  These are three images from different angles of the same individuals. There were at least 2 other similarly marked ones in the area as well.
 
Regards,
 
Dan Irizarry
Bradenton, FL
