A bent copper?

Hello all UKB'ers,
On my weekend wanderings I kept an eye out for Small Coppers, given the recent threads of abs and variants and found this little number.
Bent Copper
Bent Copper
It looks like it emerged but never completed the job; any thoughts welcome.
Flutter on!

Looks like it was deformed within the pupa, or disturbed as it was inflating its wings. Either way - poor thing!

Cheers,

Looks like it was still capable of flight though so would be okay :)

It flew very well, so seemed un-phased which is good news.
Flutter-on!
