Ocola Skipper

Panoquina ocola

"... it has distinct translucent spots on the forewing, while the hindwing below is essentially unmarked ... The unusually long forewing provides the best method of identifying the dark brown ocola skipper in the field. At rest, it pulls the forewing down so that it is partially concealed; however, it still projects well beyond the hindwing. This characteristic is reflected in the alternate name, 'long-winged sikipper.'"

When it opens its wings one sees this pattern.

BugGuide has this example of a Ocola Skipper.
