Black and white spots on wings. Upper side of its wings is dark. The underside is whitish. When I saw it from far I thought it was blue...and at certain angles the wings do show a blue patch as in the first photo.

Yes Nuwan, You are right. I spotted this species again on the 17th and correctly ID-ed it...was just about to rectify this when you spotted it. My computer has intermittent security issues with PN so when that happens I have to use BOTH Chrome and IE to uplaod and edit...a real pain...I tell you. But Thanks...it is done now.
