Some Pieridae? - Ascia monuste

Ormond Beach, Volusia County, Florida, USA
June 30, 2014
If I had to guess, I'd say something in Family Pieridae. Maybe one of the Pierinas? If found the moth quiet and motionless quite closet to the ground, bunkered down on some growth in a palmetto scrub forest. Not far from a brackish marsh and an old freshwater well from the 1800s. Maybe Ascia monuste? Glutophrissa drusilla? Any help identifying this would be greatly appreciated!
