I would say your id is correct and I would certainly go with BAMONA over Wikipedia.

After a lot of searching, I found this. It's either Melissa Blue or a Karner Blue. I would list scientific names, but apparently there is some misconstruities between genus name? Wiki says Lycaeides and Butterflies And Moths says Plebejus. Any input?
