I got only a quick look at a butterfly in the garden the other day but
it appeared to be a dullish brown with a purple sheen to the upper
parts of its wings, when open. It was about the size of a Red
Admiral, I'd think. It's been suggested it was a Purple Hairstreak.
Anyone any other ideas? The attempted photo was appalling!
