The first one is a Silver-studded, whilst the flickr one is a Common Blue.
Re the Silver-studded, the black running along the distal part of the veins, with a bronze sheen in the right angle of light (actually visible on the right hand-side hind wing) is very distinctive (as well as the short wings, very broad white fringes, etc).
