Oarisma garita

Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Photos that I've taken, and those in Glassberg, show Dun Skippers with more of a golden/brownish body, and this one is decidedly gray. Is that within the realm of variation?
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: good question, but no. this is Garita, which likes high grasslands. check out your field guide and see if this ID makes sense to you.
