The third is a very worn male Common Blue, it's lost a lot of blue scales making it look like a female! It's lacking any orange markings which a female should have, and the plain bluey purple colouration is typical of male butterflies.

Yes I see what you mean, to be honest I took one quick look at it and just thought female. |
