I cannot be sure certainly there is a little blue hue
The same two Butterflies Top one is a Argus
Bottom is the Blue
only the underside confirms identity http://

Hi folks,
I found this excellent guide: http://www.britishbutterflies.co.uk/...de-low-res.pdf
This makes it a male Brown Argus I think.

Looks brown Argus to me too from my very amateurish view, with that black wing spot - though I have some pics in my Higgins and Riley butterfly guide to europe of mountain argus var montensis like that too.............from Scotland?
I wait to be corrected..............  
Cheers
