I changed the name...And thank you for your help @DanielePralong and Jolly Ibanez
So did it have small tails? I am not 100% confident about my suggestion but the markings on Zizula hylax appear quite different. Common names for butterflies can be quite confusing :-)
I don't think this is tiny grass blue. Please compare here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zizula_hyla...
Sure, but it's hard to find a name! But this one is a bit different than what you have proposed is?
