Painted Jezebel

At long last something to post from yesterday's walk.
I came across a couple of tiny skippers. The first I am sure is Oriens gola pseudolus, but the second could be Oriens goloides, as there appears to be a black bar in space 5 of the forewing. The underside is also different in the first specimen from one I took a while ago, could they be male & female?
1) Upperside of O. gola
2) Upperside of possible O. goloides (poor shot, but only one I have)
3) Underside of O. gola from yesterday
4) Underside of O. gola of a specimen shot a while ago
Other species seen yesterday not shown here often.
5) The rare Euthalia ipona (female). Strange, but I have only ever seen females!
6) Neptis clinia - this never allowed a shot from a good vantage point.
