Would this be a Lang’s Short tailed Blue (Leptotes pirithous)?

Algarve November.

Thanks John! I replied too quickly and didn't realize you're already saying the pic was from November (but managed to edit the post in time). The Algarve is a bit of an oddity when it comes to flight periods and some species are already on the wing (first generation) from late December or early Jan (thus it crossed my mind this one was from this year already). Green-striped Whites are all over the place now, even close to Lisbon.
