More grizzled skippers

[Part timer]

Hi

Following some helpful responses to a request for assistance with identification of a photo of a skipper I took in Provence a couple of weeks ago (turned out to be Sage), I've got a couple more I'd appreciate some help with.

The first isn't a great picture, I'm the first to admit. It was taken in the Todra Gorge in Morocco in May 2011. My instinct was that this is an Aden Skipper, due to size, colouration, habitat and its habit of buzzing around aimlessly and then coming back to rest on the same rock in full scorching sun, which I've read is a particular habit of this species. A companion on the same tour suggested Red-underwing, but I've seen this species before and the colouring didn't look right to me.

2nd and 3rd are of the same insect, taken nectaring on a roadside scabious in the Dentelles de Montmirail in Provence in July 2009. At the time I recorded it as Oberthur's Grizzled Skipper, but looking at it again, I'm not so sure.

Any opinions appreciated.
