I'm not sure about the ID of this butterfly, but of all the things I found this was the most close. A butterfly I see regularly in my area, some are a bit different. Not really large, I think about 4-5 cms wingspan. Have a great weekend and stay safe my friends!

More photos on this last morning in the area.
2 more skippers seen beside the small river close to the lodge.
I have it seems seen this one before but the colouring is very different on one such occasion. Maybe a different subspecies.
Photos taken early afternoon on this first day on this trail.
I have photographed the more attractive male on several trips but this is the first time I have photographed a female.
