Congratulations on getting a picture with the wings open. The dark lines across the edge of the wings suggests a sulphur butterfly. Furthemore, because there are no spots in the wings, it's probably a male sulphur. I would initially guess a Clouded Sulphur or an Orange Sulphur. https://greennature.com/arizona-butterflies/
