looks like Colias eurytheme
Possibly C. pilodice, but wide dark border showing through from above argues against it. Defiinitely not C. interior. Some things to notice - double ring around white spot on hind wing, and row of dark spots on wings (only obvious on front wing of this one). Neither of the characters are seen on C. interior.

Thanks
It seems obvious once you point out the differences. Without a photo of the top side I moved pic to Colias?
