Sleepy Sulphur
My 1964 "Butterflies & Moths" publ by A Golden Nature Guide has a pretty good matching image; my 2003 "Kaufman Field Guide to Butterflies of North America" doesn't show it. His "Mexican Yellow (Eurema mexicana) looks the closest, but the range he shows seems to far South of me.? And, my specimen doesn't have the angled wing!!
