Female holly blue butterfly....celastrina argiolus, Brantingham, East Riding of Yorkshire

It looks like a chalkhill blue, but I'm not certain. Any suggestions?

Perfect shot! I'm no lepidopterist, but I did google the Chalkhill Blue, and I found one picture that was identical. So I would give an uneducated answer and say yes, it is a Chalkhill Blue.
