    Thanks all for your kind comments.
    When it landed on the boardwalk in front of me, I was surprised to see the shining blue too.
    My first thought was that it could just be another male Common Hedge Blue, but its larger size and the tails suggested something else.
    A glimpse of its underside finally allowed me to confirm its id.

    Thanks, Frederick.
    I am still short of a proper underside shot though.
