Imago. Han. I think it is a male, seeing a clean upperside through the backlit underside.

Actually my first self-found in Denmark. Meaning finding it at a location where I didn't know it could be found. And a bit unusual this behavior, flying slowly along the trail, and the perching rather high up, very different from the way I've seen it before.
Happy Birding
