  This doesn't look like a little yellow to me, it doesn't have any spots. It could be a small white - Pieris rapae, but I'm not sure.

    9 years later, but I think you are right, the photos of "cabbage white" that I found are much closer. This photo doesn't show the distinctive spot on the wings, but that's because the wings are closed, it seems.
    
    Thanks for the help! Sorry I had stolen this "species first" for so long! Posted one year ago

A very elegant capture, Jeremy, and a great focus on its beautiful eyes. Posted 10 years ago
