While sorting my pic I came across this taken at TBHP. Is this the Arhopala aurea? Shot taken in Dec last year.

Nope. A. aurea (http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/2382/lycaenidae/aurea.htm)has a short stubby white tipped tail. Your specimen has a much longer tail, which is probably cut off due to wear and tear.
