Trying to Identify Southern Dogface - Colias eurytheme

Trying to Identify Southern Dogface - Colias eurytheme
Columbus - just North of Lake Babcock, Platte County, Nebraska, USA

I am really struggling to tell the difference between the Southern Dogface and Orange Sulphurs. Both have a black spot on the upper wing...but I think the Dogface has a larger, more triangular shape, white/black spot. Some of the places I have looked to tell the difference state that the Dogface should have a sharp point on the upper wing. I wonder if that is always true...can they be slightly rounded. Thanks for helping me!
