Coordinator notes: Female. C. interior (Pink-edged Sulphur) females (or males for that matter) would not have the yellow spots in the dark wing margins as in this individual. The pink highlights is a nonspecific finding, and can be present in many Colias species. Great job in capturing a rare dorsal view! -jmgesell
