Blue Butterfly, Cornwall (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
Two weeks ago I was having a look at the butterflies on the dunes behind Constantine Bay in Cornwall, and among the clear common blues, was this slightly more unusually patterned specimen.

I'm assuming it is also a common blue, but I've seen mentioned online somewhere that Silver-studded Blue are found at the site (though this would be very late in the season for them I believe) but those dark borders made me want to get a second opinion just in case.

Thanks in advance for any help!
