Not quite. The
C. marshalli (Geranium) is correct, but the other one is not the normal Long-tailed (
L. boeticus), but the close species
Leptotes pirithous. I seem to recall the common name had the tail as part of it, though.

Yep - Geranium Bronze (Cacyreus marshalli) and Lang's Short-tailed Blue (Leptotes pirithous).
Cheers,
