Is this a pale Common Blue female?

Post by DaveBlom »

Saw this today on Great Yarmouth North Beach, was mainly on the Sea Holly but landed here in the grass and flexed it's wings so I could get a shot. It looks a lot paler than the drawings in my pocket guide, still yet to get the big book :)

It looks like a faded female Common Blue to me.

Par for the course at this stage of the season.
