Probably more likely to be Narrow-winged 5-spot as 5-spot tends to be restricted to southern chalk sites.

I am afraid the photos are not good , it was so windy,the Field Scabious was really swaying and I was photographing with one hand (dog in the other) plus it was very faded - here is the least blurred one - I have made it quite small just to appear here as an attachment - not one for Flickr!

They aren't easy to separate, but on range probably species I suggested.

Agree it's more likely Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet  Nige |
