You might check
Orange Barred Sulphur (Phoebis Philea), and see if it's the same.

Thank you
Thanks Bobby and Rennie. I guess if I had to bet (after looking in the guide based on your suggestions) on one of the two, I'd go with the orange barred. There is so much variability that I wouldn't bet much though!
Thanks again. I'm going to watch this guy and see what happens.

Good idea
but I think I agree with Rennie after all. This one:

looks the same, and the descriptions on page 89 in Wagner seem to corroborate this.

How about
a Cloudless Sulphur?
