Richard,
As the year wears on, so do skipper's wings, much to our consternation!
However, I think I would stick with my initial impression and that is of a
Swarthy Skipper.

Nov. 8, 2011 Montgomery Bell SP Dickson Co.TN
73 degrees F, mostly sunny, stiff breeze from the south
A few butterflies were still flying in the park, see list below. The dam
areas were mowed mid summer so there was some thistle in bloom along the
Lake Woodhaven dam which would otherwise have been gone. One small grayish
skipper I could not identify, see here:

Most abundant lep of the day was probably Buck Moth, as identified on
BugGuide: med-large, day-flying, black and white with some red, and larval
food is mostly oaks. Lots of oaks in this park. Anybody else seeing this
flying lately?
