Is this correct?
It flew away before I could get a shot of the wing's underside.
Photographed South west Norway, June 25th.
Habitat: Open grassy, flowery area inside coastal spruce forest.

Aricia nicias perhaps.

Thanks Harri.
The problem is, Aricia nicias is found in far eastern Norway only. Rare.
A record in this part of the country would be nothing more than sensational.

Most of all it looks like Cupido minimus "fjällform".

Yes, I agree. It seems like Cupido minimus.
Thanks again Harri.
