Essex Skipper ?

This evening after work I took advantage of the sunny weather and decided to search out a few more shots of Butterflies on the waste ground next to work. I spotted a few skipper butterflies. I got a shot of this one enjoying the thistle heads. When I put the photo on the computer I checked it out and thick it could be an Essex skipper but not an expert as they are similar to the small skipper.
