I think this is Colias philodice, but it could be C. eurytheme. Any confirmations?

Colias eurytheme
agree with Tony.

The rather smooth look below, shape of the wings, and very wide border on the front wings all fit this species. Not impossible to tell them apart, just difficult and confusing in some individuals.

This one has had a hard time of it. Front left wing is almost totally gone, leaving much of the upper right wing visible.

Albino Sulphur
Timothy,

With these albino sulphur females species you noted it is impoosible to tell one from the other with a photograph. You would need to disect them to tell which is which.
