Saw this guy in my garden once last year. It let me take a bunch of photos and flew off at lighting speed. Any ideas what it is? Its top two wings and bottom two moved independently.

This is a skipper (a group between of butterflies and moths) of family Hesperidae, maybe Leonard's Skipper (Hesperia leonardus)

I dont see this type of butterfly listed anywhere on this site. How would I go about adding it?
