I got one couple of weeks ago with no ocellus and one a few weeks before that. Think its common, but not very. I ahve seen it twice, in two different broods and two very different locations though.

Another way of tellin an Adonis, is its very sky blue sheen, common blues are not so bright, they have a violet/lilic blue upperside on males.

Just a thought: I presume that's from the UK? If it had been from one of your recent continental trips I would consider thersites.
Otherwise, yes, icarus, form icarinus.
