The Pointed Line-blue, Ionolyce helicon merguia (Moore)

This is a common butterffly that can be seen congregating in numbers with the other "Blues", sometimes making it difficult to differentiate between the scores of Blues by just a quick glance on their undersides, which incidently looks very much alike between Ionolyce, Nacaduba and Anthene.
