Edwards Hairstreak? - Satyrium calanus
Banning State Park, Pine County County, Minnesota, USA
July 10, 2014
Somewhere or somehow, I had identified this little beauty as Edwards Hairstreak (Strymon edwardsii) but when checking on BugGuide, it appears that it is probably Edwards' Hairstreak (Satyrium edwardsii)

not Edwards
To me it looks like a Hickory Hairstreak, Satyrium caryaevorus - Hickory. The Banded Hairstreak S. calanus, is very very similar too.

Probably calanus
After spending quite a while comparing the two, and looking at the comments about the differences, it is my conclusion that it is probably a Banded Hairstreak (Satyrium calanus)
