What 'Butterfly' is this?

I think it's a butterfly but my friend thinks it's a moth. It likes Echinacea 'Tomato Soup'!

You are right, it is a butterfly. It is one of the open-wing skippers, known as Horace's Duskywing - Erynnis horatius: http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=1998

Thanks. They look kind of like moths and I can see why someone would get confused.
