Skipper?

I spotted this small orange/brown butterfly on the lavender this morning (yes, at last we have lavender!). I was intrigued by the way it was holding its wings. My Reader's Digest butterfly book suggests it is a skipper though the nearest match seems to be an Essex skipper, which if it is means it is a bit off course.

We had a visit from our almost chosen fitted wardrobe designer which went well, apart from the price going up as I suspected it would. Decision time now :-)
