Butterfly ID

Can anyone give me an ID on this rather small butterfly?

I have tried to get the white balance right but it might be a bit off.

That's a Common Blue I believe.

edit: a female at that.

It certainly is, a female. Nice shots.

They're normally brown ( the female common blue, that is) but do occur in a blue form.

Thank you, all. My butterfly ID book only has males which is frequently useless.
