The two photos look like the same specimen to me
Regardless, you've photographed an apparently very rare creature for Florida (or at least a species that has gone mostly unnoticed). This is basically a Cuban and Bahaman species. These two Aphrissa species are very closely similar, and this one is difficult to pick out from the other. There is a recently posted article about this under the entry for Aprhissa neleis on the Butterflies of America web site.

Moved from Statira Sulphur.

I knew I could count on you.. its funny, I have been wanting to photograph Phoebis sennae, but can't seem to get one in front of my lens, I have had many other and even some of another genus... but not P. sennae!! darnit! LOL
