Yellow Butterfly - Pieris marginalis
Between Renton/Kent, King County, Washington, USA
September 2, 2013
Looks similar but small to the typical white butterflies I see. Could not get shot of wing backs, so unclear if any markings were present but undersides appear to be unmarked except for variation in the amount of yellow present.
