These are difficult sometimes.
To me it looks like Eurema daira. The markings are more like that species, being less "crisp" looking and with that characteristic brownish line on the hind wing.

They are in south Texas and south Florida, and yours would be the first in the guide for Florida. Check out the others in the guide.
