Lately the name of choice for western
Veined Whites is Pieris marginalis. I still think of them as variants of P. napi myself though, but you will find a place for him under the name P. marginalis here. This would be subspecies marginalis.

Veined White
Thanks Mike, I have another photo of a Veined White but only the underside of the wings. The differences helped me miss the ID.
