More from the Pyrennees - Skippers

Hi,
Pat and I also went to the (Hautes) Pyrenees this year in the first two weeks of July. We were ar Estaing which is at 1000m about 23km south of Lourdes. We were disappointed by how few species of butterfly we saw (around 40 at present). Halfway through the holiday we met a national Park warden who said that the season was much delayed by poor weather. In fact he said that a couple of days earlier when we were having rain, it was snowing above 2000m. Anyway, to the butterflies. I've got quite a few that I would be grateful for help in identifying, so I've divided them int separate species groups. This first lot are Grizzled Skippers.
Is this an Oberthur's??
Another Oberthur's ??
Possible Large Grizzled:
I'm afraid that I have no idea what the rest are, some maybe too worn to tell:
That's the lot for now, Thanks in advance,
Robin
