Lycaena ID question

[wesley]

Hi all, looking for an ID on this butterfly, possibly some sort of Lycanea? It was spotted in northern Norway during last august.

It is Boloria ,Nymphalidae.
There are 11 species in Norway all very similar.
It appears closest to Boloria napaea (ssp lapponica in N. Norway.). black markings very variable.
