it would have been better if you used a flash to illuminate finer markings on the underside of this butterfly, as in your picture they are not visible. markings on the undersides are often crucial in identifying lycaenid butterflies. fortunately, in this case i am sure that it is female of the Common Acacia (Surendra quercetorum).
