If it's a Broken-Dash (I don't seem to be able to find anything definitive to 
identify these similar skippers), I'd say it's a Northern. Southern would be 
more reddish-brown and the borders of the fore and hind wings would be 
different 
colors - I think one would be grayish and the other tan. The borders on this 
individual look to be the same color.

Wish I had snapped another shot from above, but alas, I did not. Any comments 
as 
to whether this is reddish-brown or yellow-brown? Saw it yesterday at Hidden 
Lake near Pegram, where I also saw a dead armadillo in the road along Hwy 70. 
(I 
did not know they were this far north.)
