Whilst I viewed a few very dark, small individuals that couldn't be anything else...can someone just confirm that individuals like this one were also Lulworth Skipper (I'm thinking yes due to the olive/darker colouration and faint golden crescent)
Skipper ID Confirmation?

Skipper ID Confirmation?
After chasing many obvious Large Skipper around at Durlston Country Park we visited Bindon Hill in search of Lulworth Skipper

I thought as much...but as I have no experience with the species its always nice to get confirmation!
I was amazed how much smaller than Large Skipper they looked!
