Purplish Copper on Yarrow?

Lycaena helloides

Description:

I think this is a male Purplish Copper but would like input on this please. So many of the butterflies I see are lifers and so many of them are described as "variable"!

Habitat:

Subalpine on Blackwall Peak in Manning Park, BC on yarrow growing along the roadside. North Cascade mountains in the Pacific Northwest.
