Ocybadistes have extensive yellow markings on the forewing, not a few white ones like this specimen.
The hook-shaped medial mark appears to be specific for T. xanthmera.

The white markings under the wings are a bit odd ?

Thank you - I thought it looked a bit different to any skipper I’d seen before

Nm will not let me. I logged out and back in but it still won't let me. Could be it is a butterfly, and I am only allowed to confirm moths.
