216. The Ceylon Dartlet (Oriens goloides) ???

Number: 216     
Family:  Hesperiidae        
Sub-Family: Hesperiinae       
Species: Oriens goloides
Common name(s): Ceylon Dartlet
Rarity: Common       
Province(s) / Place(s) sighted: Nam Nao National Park (Petchabun)

This is definitely Oriens sp. and it looks extremely like O. goloides, which is found at close-by Phu Khieo WS, which is part of the same mountain range. Please advise if I am wrong.
Here with its wings slightly open.
ID credit (for Oriens sp. at least): Tanvir Ahmed Shaikot, Khew SK and Soon Chye
