Struggling to identify this one...

Post by mushroomcounter »

I took this photo at lunchtime today in East Bedfordshire. Probably a couple of centimetres across. Am wondering whether it is a pale version of something that is usually bluer but even then cannot ID it by looking at photos on websites.

Many thanks for any ideas.

Looks like a faded female Common Blue. Location and time of year rule out Adonis and Chalkhill which would be the only other possible options I think.
