Small "blue" butterfly

[Lord V]

Spotted this lovely small blue type butterfly this morning feeding on lavender. Not seen it in the garden before (normally just get holly blues).
Guessing it's a common blue or chalkhill blue perhaps. Any confirmation
Thanks

Compare my Common Blue, which I think yours is:



I find they are not as common as Holly Blues, and I'd be pleased as punch to get one in my garden.

Thanks Deb - does look identical.
