The European Skippers really confuse me, I'm not sure what the key points are when id'ing them and to me skippers in the genuses Pyrgus and Spialia all look very similar. I think shots of the underside of the wings is useful.
However, the almost complete band on the hindwing and the thick white margin on this butterfly give something to work on, and I think it looks most like a Sage Skipper - Muschampia proto.
I've got quite a few unidentified skipper photos from my holidays abroad.
