Coordinator notes: If you look really closely along the costal margin of the FW on your second photo, you can see blue showing through from the dorsal side where there is a fragment of the wing missing. A Dusky Azure (either sex) would not have blue this close to the wing margin. Without this little break in the wing, the two species are extremely difficult to differentiate with only a ventral view. Great photos, by the way! -jmgesell
