Coordinator notes: Indeed, a female Taxiles Skipper. I would recommend checking out the nearby Nix Farm native plant garden, as I've seen many of these skippers there, along with other skippers that are usually uncommon in Fort Collins (Silver-spotted Skipper, Common Sootywing, and Woodland Skipper).
