The common blue on the right with the wings closed and head down is in a sleaping position.
They often sleep in small groups together, so if you find one in sleeping position look further and most likely you will find a few more.

The one on the left side is a male with blue wings, females are brown on the upside of the wings.

Kind regards,
Joep
