sounds like the male is a blue phase ordinoides....pickeringii have very narrow stripes. Are there small spots along the stripes on the male? The ordinoides generally have small spots along the stripes. My adult ordinoides in the pic below has a narrow stripe, but it starts out wide...you can see the small spots along the stripes... hope this helps!
