Hi Mark. Sorry - I think I must have missed this first time round.
It is Plebejus, and not pylaon or any of the former Zephyr group because there seems to be a silver pupil to two of the hindwing spots. I'm pretty certain it's not argyrognomon, so that leaves idas and argus. There aren't any universal underside features for these two, but since the spots look rather uncrowded on your butterfly I suspect it is at the large end of the size range and so idas is most likely.
