Hi. I could be wrong, but it could be a Chalkhill Blue? Hopefully, someone with a lot more knowledge on butterflies than me, will get back to you! 👍

Nothing like one I'm afraid. Clearly from underwing a Plebejus sp. Would go for Silver-studded.

That's a good call, and I'm pretty sure I can see a "stud" if I zoom right in.

Thanks for the reply. I think you're right. I should have thought of that!

You say that, but Silver-studded, for me as well, often goes under the radar.

With my British head on I’d say silver studded but is Idas a possibility?

No as the black sub-marginal lines are much thinner than this.
