I didn't unfortunately get a picture of this one with it's wings open, but the topside was a lovely dusky blue and brown. I added a enlargement of it's waggly rear end which looked like antennae which I suspect was to confuse predators.

I thought this one might be a Stencilled Hairstreak, particularly also given your description of the upperside. But I'm convinced your other posting this day is the Imperial Hairstreak. Suzi will adjudicate, of course!

You are most likely correct. I'm a newbie on bugs. It would be nice to get two species from one walk up there.
