It was probably about the size of my pinky finger. 300mm with the 36mm extension tube

Blew the focus on the last one drat it.

Oh nice, looks closely related to the UK Chequered skipper.

I googled around for skippers that can be found in IL

I think this might be it. But it's so hard to tell for sure!

I agree.
It can hinge on subtle things like the colour of the underneath of the antennae.
