Date?
Since it seems that date is very important for ID in this genus, you might want to add that if possible. According to the Info page "Extreme dates are early May to early July."

more info
I'm guessing that showing the underside too, and including a collecting date and habitat information would make it easier for somebody to nail this one down. I'm not an expert on Azures in your part of the world, so I'll leave the ID to someone else. To me, most of them still all look like variations of one wide-ranging species, but the trend lately is to split them up.
