Small Skipper on Knapweed. Thymelicus sylvestris on Centaurea species.
Or possibly the Essex Skipper, Thymelicus lineola
These little butterflies were ubiquitous here, flitting around in the tall grasses and mostly sipping nectar from hard-heads, Centaurea / knapweed..

I'm not so lucky with butterflies but after years of trying the nice images are adding up! :)
TY for the visit! Fun to hear about what it's like where you live...Steve and I hope to spend time over in the British Isles at some point...we'll rent a camper van and enjoy creeping all over the place. Not sure though because we'll miss our bird terribly!
Have a sunny weekend.
Happy weekend:)
I would agree that it is a Small skipper and not an Essex skipper. The accepted way of telling them apart is by the antennae: the Essex skipper has very well defined jet-black tips to the antennae, especially on the underside, "as if they had been dipped in ink".
Good video here:
