I saw my first ever Hairstreak this afternoon. I first noticed the white stripes, a general uniform brown background, a noticeable tail and three PINK spots by the tail. In desperation I used my phone to take the picture, the result of which is about as good as my ability to identify butterflies.
Could it be a Brown Hairstreak? I do have Blackthorn in the hedge where I saw it.

Yes, it is a Brown.
I should return if I were you and get some better pics.
