Hi Kristy,
Yes, that is a Mimosa Skipper. The main ID mark is the gray median and
postmedian bands on the hindwing. Good call and a nice find!

Hello,
We were in Texas last week, and I am trying to go through my photos. Can
anyone tell me what this is? I think it might be a Mimosa Skipper, but it
doesn't seem too look quite right. It's the closest I could get it. The
butterfly was seen on April 8th at Santa Ana NWR, Hidalgo County.
