I believe that your are right, for one
thing, there appears to be more orange on top then what I would expect of a Clouded Sulphur. But you might also keep in mind that in Kaufman's they state that the Clouded and Orange Sulphurs can hybridize. I've never knowingly seen a hybrid myself, but I think in this instant it might be possible.

 
I usually go with the simplest explanation
- do you see anything here to suggest a hybrid rather than just a plain old Orange Sulphur? It seems like a good fit with other images in the guide.

 
Not really...
I just threw it out there as a possibility.
