There were a couple of these blues in the field, I think they were fresh and on the basis that I only ever have Common Blues in that field that's what it must be but is it?

That is a female Common Blue. They vary enormously from brown enough to be confused with a Brown Argus to examples like yours or even bluer!

Thanks; I keep hoping that another member of the family will turn up to enjoy the flowers I have specifically sown for them.
