Clouded sulphur - Colias philodice - Female
Springhill Park, Barling, Sebastian County, Arkansas, USA
December 13, 2012
Sunny, mid day. Sulphurs were flying about and lateral basking in grassy field after a subfreezing night. This one appears to have some albino characteristics and looks like a clouded sulphur but I'm not certain.

agreed, looks like a white form female Clouded Sullphur
The narrowness of the dark border showing through, the shape of the wings, the dark scaling, and the overall "look" all favor this species.
