A lady in a facebook group has asked for this aberrant grizzled skipper to be ID'd. Can anyone help? It was seen in May of last year on the south downs. I've never seen anything like it before.

That's unlike anything I've ever seen before.
What a find!

Yikes!
Is there any chance that she would let us put that in the Species-Specific Album (with credits).
