Is this the same individual as one of your others?
Could be Cassius but Ceraunus blue is similar above - usually distinguished by size and the markings on the undersides.

Moving to guide
I'm going to call this a Cassius Blue just because you submitted two other shots of that species on this flower on the same day - if anyone disagrees I expect they'll let us know!
