Thanks

That is a female common blue. The general pattern indicates a blue and the cell spot (a second spot towards the base of the forewing cell) indicates common blue or Adonis blue (or chalkhill blue in season). From what I can see, this individual is a common blue, though in that condition I can't definitively rule out Adonis.

Thanks Guy. If it, helps the location is Willow Park, Basildon, Essex.

Cheers

Then instincts were right - definitely common blue.
