The Fairy Queen

Firstly, I must confess that the sex of this posted butterfly is not confirmed. As the butterflies are generally considered with feminine sense I go for this title. This is a Pale Grass Blue butterfly(?) belongs to the Lycaenidae family(for sure). It is one of the commonest beauty seen around us(lower Gangetic Plain) though are tough to identify properly except an expert's opinion. The similar-most butterflies are also there as Dark Grass Blue or Tiny Grass Blue. Asking for your kind attention for id purpose. Enjoy.

Nice image. I feel shifting just a bit more to the left would have helped to get the butterfly more parallel to the sensor. The ID is a bit confusing. Experts please confirm. Thanks for sharing.
