Need help to ID this butt.

Spotted this small butts. this morning at the SICC ranger office could not ID it :-( but seems to be a Nacaduba spp. ?

Thanks for the ID in advance.

Was checking some of the specimens in my collection. Closest that matches it is Nacaduba berenice icena (Rounded 6-Line Blue) . Will need to look at the upperside too. ;P It has the extra pair of basal stripes on the forewing undersides which corresponds to the berenice group of this genus.

Thanks. That just narrows it down to two species - Nacaduba berenice icena or Nacaduba beroe neon. ;P

Here's a shot of one which I took at Sime too. A bit darker on the underside compared to yours, but the patterns appear similar.
