Looks like a Northern Oak Hairstreak
Faded and dead ?

 
Faded, yes
It wasn't doing well, but I don't think it was quite dead.

 
Thanks for the feedback
There only two in your area that are similar in markings. The White M has a white ventral HW center spot at leading edge whereas Northern Oak does not have this spot.
