The Coon, Psolos fuligo fuligo (Mabille)

It looks like a larger and decidedly rounder version of the Forest Hopper and has some very faint ferruginous (rusty) spots on the undersides of its brown wings.

The current cold spell brought gloomy weather and suddenly, this skipper becomes very abundant in all its usual localities. Above 2 photos 26 Jan 2014 @ 12:26.

23 Feb 2014 @ 10:54. Despite the return of hot and dry spell, it is still common though less so than in January - maybe Dec-Feb is their active period of the year?
