Atlides halesus corcorani
Here's Altides halesus in flight, for example: https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2175/225...
We have other genera of hairstreak butterflies in the US. This one could belong to Altides.
This looks like a fresh oakblue. Wings are deformed, or freshly forming. Aropala is the genus of most of these.
I thought these were oceanic and not from the new world. Is this wild or in captivity?
