Appreciate the photos aren't much chop (they wouldn't let me get close enough to them) but I believe this to be the same as the one I got with my DSLR. Atkinsia dominula (Two-brand grass-skipper)

Missed this one. A female. When possible clear upper and under wing photos are invaluable, and at times necessary, for identifying Skippers due to the number of similar species. Fortunately you also recorded males in this area.
