Thanks Janey , for identifying it :) I looked at the site that you recommended. Although mine looks very similar to the Striped one, I found that the Grey one had almost identical markings.

The Striped Hairstreak has many more black and white lines on the underwing. Also note the host plant........Mallow. The Gray Hairstreak's favorite two host plants are mallows and legumes.
