Larry, 

I think you are probably correct in your determination of a Delaware Skipper.  
I've seen some really bright, faintly marked Sachems that this resembles, but 
you can always see the faint chevron on the hindwing, and I don't see a whisper 
on yours.

I'm thinking Delaware Skipper which would be a park record. This was the only 
shot I got of this fast flying, and fast disappearing skipper. It was close to 
sachem size. I saw it this afternoon Thursday, Aug 6th, at Steele Creek Park, 
Bristol TN, Sullivan County. It was near the lake where there are a lot of 
goose droppings but I didn't see it land on any.
