very pointy in the upper wings, dark coloured, and I can't match the pattern in my book.

Any other shots (particularly of the upper wings at a different angle).
I think this is a White-banded Grass-dart but can't be 100% certain on that shot

I put another shot in. They flocked off too quick in most cases to get more than 2 shots. But I agree it could be. There seemed to a patch of them down the bottom of the hill.

Definitely White-banded Grass-dart - second photo confirms ID
