    It does looks like J. celeno female.
    Do you have the underside. We are trying to match the upperside with the underside.
    Do remember most Caerulean females have similar markings above & flash can make it very white.

    Both sexes of J. pura are bluer than the correseponding sexes of J. celeno.
    White Caerulean is a misnomer for J. pura.
    White Caerulean is the name for J. cleodus, & J. pura was once placed as a subspecies (ie as J. cleodus pura ) which is probably how the name was transfered to J. pura.
