Coordinator notes: At first I focused on the three spots and both Cobalopsis Nero and the Three-spotted Skipper, Cymaenes tripunctus, have 3 spots, BUT they have more spots on the underside of the forward wing than this sighting, thus by further research including my own gallery I realized that this is one I've seen in CR twice before, once here in Atenas and once in the Caribbean and it is a perfect match! Sorry, but ID is sometimes a challenge for me! :-)
