Yet another blue from Spain

Post by Robin »

Actually, this is one of Pat's.
I thought it might be another nivescens but seeing the sliver of blue at the bottom edge of the hindwing I'm inclined to go for dorylas.

Anyone agree?

I can't see anything to point away from dorylas, and that species must be common there. That said, I was happy with dorylas for the others, if I remember! It would surprise me if nivescens showed that gleam of blue, too.
