This is one of the smaller butteflies. They appear to have an easier time surviving

It looks like a Skipper but there are so many! I looked at many on this site, the location is given at the right side but can be a 'from - to' such a Mexico to Panama.

Maybe one of the Checkered Skippers:

Looks like there are variations in species which make it harder to id.
