CLOSED: Need a butterfly ID please...

Lincoln, NE(Zone 5b)

I'll be posting 2 pics. One I know is a Gray Hairstreak. The other I can't seem to narrow it down any further than these options I'll add below because there seems to be a few Hairstreaks with a area of blue between the orange on the tip of the tail...so I need some opinions please:

Acadian
Striped
Soapberry
Edwards
Banded
Or...if you think it's something else...

The 1st pic I'll post is of the "Unknown" I need ID'd...

I'm no expert on this group, but it looks very much like a banded hairstreak (Satyrium calanus) to me - see http://tinyurl.com/2eo2yev
