    Tricky one indeed! I'm not finding a lot of good reference images of the Lesser Albatross to verify it. Appias galene does yield a lot more visual matches, but I'm absolutely not sure, sorry. Posted 7 years ago

      I thought it might be A. libythea, but it doesn't yield as many matches as this one. I'll ask a resident lepidoptera enthusiast about it and clarify the species. Thanks for checking on this as well! Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago
