Thymelicus ID

[Don Juan]

Hi These photos were taken in Southern Spain and at first I thought Small Skipper or maybe Lulworth Skipper
can anybody confirm the ID please
Thanks

All look good for male Lulworth to me, you can just make out the diagnostic 'sunburst' markings on the wing tips. They also look to dark to be Smalls.

Agree with Bugboy. Given the location, I can't see what else it can be. The ground colour is quite unlike lineola or sylvestris, and the antennae are different from those two species as well, not to mention the 'sunburst' markings.

Male acteon for me too
