I have a few other photos if it would help with identification.

Yes thanks Tammy, that would help.

Have added some more but they probably don't show much more detail.

Most lycaenids have similar upper surfaces. The diagnostic patterns are on the undersides, which here are not in view, so I cannot offer any suggestions.
