Yeah, it was hard to verify. Thanks for the ID.

After a profound re-search through all Green and Blues I think it must be Callophrys xami.

I thought that would be an easy one, but I did not found any perfect match. Greenstreak, Lycaenidae. Might be Callophrys sp (Xami?), Chlorostrymon or Cyanophrys sp., I try to get a little bit closer later...
