              Top one could be Holy Blue
              Bottom One could be and not sure Silver-studded Blue, my book only show wings open or closed so i could be miles away

                Looks like a Common Blue @wiseowl, Small Blue is almost brown on top and the Holly Blue is light blue on the underwing.

                          Some times it's the marking that makes the differents, but in my book they can look the same, also how the pictures in the book are taken look different to the real thing
                          Well that my excause :snork:
