The body position of the critter says more "moth" to me. Usually butterflies like to rest with their wings closed or "fluttering". It could also be in the "skipper" category though as well. A popular "skipper" in our area is the little black witch (not the black witch - which is a large moth). Unfortunately I'm not good with the identification of either little brown moths or of "skippers."

Here's a picture of a skipper if it helps... I think this one is a color variation of a little black witch (I also have one that is much darker).
