anomalous Hairstreak - Satyrium favonius

anomalous Hairstreak - Satyrium favonius
Callisburg/Clark Haven Farm, Cooke County, Texas, USA
May 16, 2014
Size: one inch
Photographed about 11 am on a warm day. A lot of different butterflies like the Barabara's Buttons flowers (Marshallia caespitosa). Of the thousands of butterflies we saw, this was the only one like it. Aberrant Southern Oak Hairstreak (Satyrium favonius)is the probable ID, according to our local butterfly expert.

An interesting aberrant
and it does appear to be an Oak Hairstreak but the Northern subspecies to me since it has a hindwing blue spot capped with orange.
Not an expert so wait for their input.
