Zippy Skipper - _TNY_5204
The grizzled skipper (Pyrgus malvae) is a very fast little butterfly which prefers to rest with the wings open - something I as a photographer obviously have no objections to.
The underside is a lighter yellow-green brown with white spots.
This particular shot (which was the only one I got before it flew off) was severley over-exposed due to me not readjusting the flash intensity properly from the preceeding shot, but fortunately I was able to save the shot surprisingly well using Adobe Camera RAW.
