Is possible to identify this Lycaenidae?
Picture was taken in August, 2011 in the USA, Arizona. South Rim of Grand Canyon.

Thanks.

hard to tell with the angle, however, given the orange spot at the back of the hind wing, along with the jagged meredial line and brown wing feathers, the butterfly might be a female gray hairstreak.
 
Thank you for your identification; Strymon melinus was my first thought about the identification but i was not sure.

thanks again

bye
