Striped Hairstreak
Satyrium liparops
"Hindwing with 1 long and
1 short tail. Upperside dark brown; male with a long, oval spot
along forewing costa. Underside of both wings with rows of widely
separated white stripes; blue spot near tails topped with orange.
Outer margin of hindwing indented above short tail."
The above description is from http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=1503.
The Tvetens describe a similar Banded Hairstreak, but that butterfly
lacks the orange top to the blue spot on the hindwing, which
this butterfly has. So this is not a Banded Hairstreak.
This is the Striped Hairstreak. on the Butterflies and
Moths of North America webpage..
