Family Lycaenidae Lycaeninae
Often I only get one shot at a butterfly before it flies away and most times, the picture is fuzzy. However, luck was with me on this one.
They are smallish with a 2-3cm wingspan and seen only in the northern regions and a thin strip along the eastern coast.

Nice shot.
