Probably white form Orange Sulphur female

based on location and wing shape. Pink fringe occurs with freshly emerged adults.

Need to click "edit" and add correct date since default date is indicated.

Thanks, corrected date

Thanks for the info. I noticed some of these seemed to have brighter wings than others...
