Butterflies from SW France (1 Viewer)

Mark Lew1s

My real name is Mark Lewis
I try to ID as many butterflies as I can when I’m in France but I’m not very good at it and not very confident! Any help on the following would be much appreciated!

The Blues were at about 2600 m and I’ve tentatively identified them as Eros blue. Any thoughts?

The brassy ringlet (facing away) I’ve IDed as Pyrenean.

The second (facing left) I’ve got as Bright-eyed.

The third (facing right) I’ve got as LeFebvre’s. It was small and very dark.

Any help would be really appreciated.

I should add, they were all taken at various elevations between the Col du Tourmalet and the Pic du Midi de Bigorre, so all between about 2000 - 2700 m.
