Hi - pretty picture. It looks like it could be a female common blue which can also be brown in color. Males are generally bluish with a white fringe...

Here's another picture of one that looks most similar to yours.

I'd say it's a worn male Ringlet.

Wallaby is way more right than I am... Who'd have thought that brown butterflies would be so attractive?
