Celastrina lavendularis - Confirmation of ID

[DaveChiangMai]

Two images, same individual. Photographed at 1,700 metres on Doi Phu Kha, n Thailand. White halos on underwing spots and pale panel in upperwing I think point to this being Plain Hedge Blue Celastrina lavendularis. Although I find the spots are not as heavily defined as they could be. Could this ID be confirmed please.
