My suggestion of Lycaena helloidesis about 90% The bit of orange on the forewing is not in the official images. It is hard to tell blues, coppers and hairstreaks without an underwing view. So best guess.

Here is a general photo website that I use for Colorado butterflies. It is in the order he took them, but lots of good photos to narrow a search. Tom Murray is the photographer http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/colorado_...
