What comes up with a google search of this species looks quite different...

Hi Ryu. Saltbush Blues can look similar to Fringed Heath-blues and Montane Heath-blues, but they lack the black chevrons on the hindwing of the Fringed Heath-blue, and the Montane Heath-blue is restricted to the high country.
