Pyrgus ID

Hi all,
Last summer I came accross this pyrgus. I photographed it on 25 July at 1700m altitude (northern slope) near Barcelonnette, Ubaye, France. It was a small pyrgus, although the lack of direct comparison with other pyrgus makes such a claim rather subjective. Sofar, I have left it unidentified as I am stuck between a small and a sparsely marked alveus / a serratulae with a less characteristic unh / and a to lower altitudes dispersed (and perhaps slightly too heavily marked?) warrenensis. Anyone any better idea? Thanks for any help!
Kind regards, Bert-Jan
