I can't be certain if this is an Orange Sulphur; Colias eurytheme or Clouded Sulphur; Colias philodice or a Dogface; Zerene
Can anybody help identify which one? Thanks for your help!

kind'a beat up,
making it hard to identify. It also looks like the pattern may have been abnormal. However, it's definitely not a Dogface. Of the other two, I would say it looks to me more like C. eurytheme - Orange Sulphur.

Not an ID.
Looks more like Z. cesonia to me but I can't be sure... I would look through these pages: Southern Dogface > http://butterfliesofamerica.com/L/t/Zerene_cesonia_a.htm

Orange Sulpher > http://butterfliesofamerica.com/L/t/Colias_eurytheme_a.htm
