Grizzled skippersPyrgus – Well, this situation is a bit confusing and could potentially result in a WP:SURPRISE: Grizzled skipper is an article about a species, but Grizzled skippers is an article about a genus which just happens to be the genus of the species in Grizzled skipper, though the genus includes more types of species than just Grizzled skipper. Due to the singular/plural confusion, I'm thinking that the best course of action is to move the genus page to its actual genus name Pyrgus then retargeting the leftover redirect to Grizzled skipper as a {{R from plural}} with a hatnote on Grizzled skipper directing readers to the genus page in the event they are attempting to locate the genus. (Note: maybe the species page should be moved instead, which would also resolve the odd singular/plural situation with these page titles; however, most book results I found for the phrases "grizzled skipper" and "grizzled skippers" returned results for the species, not the genus.)
