Found this tiny blue guy on my solidago this morning. He/she doesn't look like the typical azures and Eastern Tailed Blues I've seen. Any idea what kind it might be? It was really beautiful.

Or enlarging the photo and looking more closely, I wonder if it has a partially torn wing?

okay I think I've figured it out--I think it's an eastern tailed blue with a partially torn wing that hides the characteristic orange dots. But the pattern of dots elsewhere on the wings is that of an eastern tailed blue.
