Brown Argus?

[heron09]

I recently thought this was a Brown Argus, but now wonder if it's a female Silver Studded Blue. There were no blue butterflies around and this was the only poss Brown Argus. Dungeness, Arc Pit area a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks

Yes it is a Brown Argus.
Silver Studded Blue are heathland specialists and have past their peak for this year.

BA's are one of my favourites.

I can see why you are confused

Blue Silver-Studded Plebejus argus

Only the blue sheen gives it away

My British book says it flies in August and a few coastal areas
