Similar to Mustard White (Pieris oleracea), distinguished by the more diffuse shading on the veins of the ventral hindwing. This species ranges from SE Alaska to the south-western states, compared to the Mustard White which occurs across Canada and into the northern Great Lakes states and New England.
