My guess at ID would be a male Varied Sedge-skipper, but I've never seen one before so unsure. Unable to get any other photos to show underwing patterns.

Congratulations on the first record of this species for CNM! Was it a lifer for you? Females are also on the wing at the moment but are harder to see.

Thanks Suzi, yes, this was a lifer for me. My 51st species for the ACT.
