Butterfly for I/D (1 Viewer)

blackcountry mon

Well-known member
Can anyone please I/D this butterfly? The photographs were taken at Aston Rowant today. My first impression was it was a blue form female Common Blue but the black lines across the white fringe of the wings and the black spot on the forewing seems to point to Chalk-hill. Any comments will be received with interest.

Female Common Blue. If you look very carefully at brown females the black spot on the forewing is usually discernable.
