If I am not mistaken it is a Sinai Baton Blue.

Thank you all for the lovely comments.

Thanks for that Doug. I was thinking along those lines, but had doubts. Was this shot taken in Kenya, why I ask the Sinai-baton Blue is as far as I know confined to the Sinai area of Egypt.
What size were they, the Sinai-baton blue is the smallest recorded butterfly in the world.

Shot was take in Kenya. In the rift valley (Suswa). If the Sinai-Blue is the smallest, than the photo is not of a Sinai-Blue. These two are about 2 cm in length and would say 2.5cm hight.
