Very white 'Blue'.

Found this at about 1200 m. in the French Alps. It looked very white in flight, but I have no idea what it might be unless it's a very oddly marked Holly Blue?

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks, Guy - what else could it be?

I don't realistically think it could be anything else, Tony. The markings are very sparse, I admit, but there are no other candidates in all honesty.

Holly Blues can be very pale and weakly marked. I took this rather poor and distant photo of one in my Abingdon garden, earlier this year.
