Clouded Sulphur
Colias philodice

Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: On clover
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: This looks exactly like Clouded Sulfur example in Glassberg Swift guide top left p53. These often have pink edges. Pink edged Sulfur has wider pink edges and less dark markings on underside. Often those have double hindwing spit but not always. That coupled with this being out of the normal range of Pink edged Sulfur makes that ID doubtful
