The Dun Skipper reported below turns out to have been a Little Glassywing. =
Thanks to Harry for verifying. See

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/296342719

This is not a common butterfly here, and quite unexpected at this time of y=
ear. According to the flight chart this appears to be the first early July =
record for the NC coastal plain.
