I took these photographs at Aston Rowlant. I'm assuming both arefemale Common Blues. Is that correct?

I'm sure Pete is right. The only other blue with a cell spot you might see there would be chalkhill, which has a different underside. The upperside also shows the classic female common blue distribution of pale markings towards the apex of the forewings.
