A very small "blue" butterfly with wings maybe 15mm max. length.
Spotted in a large semi-urban yard & garden near a disturbed patch of remnant forest in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
Thanks Daniele. It indeed looks very close to this spotting. Unfortunately I have been unable to find this genus or Lycaenopsis (synonym) on a Papua-specific list, or in two field manuals for parts of Papua, or in an image specifically tagged from New Guinea. I'll keep looking!
