Looks like Brazilian skipper, but is brighter yellow in color. Please help I.D.

Based on just the ventral image, I'd say it was a Fiery Skipper, Hylephila phyleus. The hindwing marks don't appear large enough to be the Whirlabout. But, these two can be confused, and the photo is good, just not quite zoomed in enough. Nice colors!
