Heavily marked Large Skipper ?

Just returned from a very pleasant trip to Jersey in the Chanel Isles, not much chance for butterfly photography but I did see this presumed Large Skipper, but I have never seen a Large Skipper so heavily patterned as this little chap in the UK, any comments welcome

I'd say it looks like a normal aged female Large Skipper. I've noticed that as they age the markings become more contrasting (same as with Lulworth Skippers).

Many thanks indeed for that most useful information, all noted for the future.
