CLOSED: Which Skipper is this?

(Pony) Lakewood, WA(Zone 8a)

These little beauties are all over my garden. I know they're a skipper, but not sure which exact kind. Can anybody tell me? (Closest match I saw in the bug files was a Leonard skipper, I think... but I want to make sure before I add the photo to the file.)

I spent a few weeks one day trying to ID some in my yard, so I won't be much help... But this site has a list of grass skippers (subfamily Herperiinae) reported in your state, so you can narrow it down:

Cool! It looks like it's a Woodland Skipper. Thanks for the link, that totally helped. :)
