And are these the same? They were shot at the same time on the same plant (Agastache).

Andy the 2nd pic is a Sliver-spotted Skipper and I'll get back with the other one later

Definitely not the same! The first one is the Yellowpatch Skipper or Peck's Skipper (Polites peckius) http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=2088
previously known as (Polites coras)
