Yes, it's a skipper. Cute li'l fellers. They even have a face.
It may be a Fiery Skipper but don't hold me to it. They are cute . What distinguishes them from moths is their knobby antennae.

Skippers are odd in that they don't fold their wings over their thorax as other butterflies, and carrier jets do. So in that respect, they look like moths, so get no respect.
