For some reason, the Suggest an ID feature is glitching, but this is a Southern Dogface (Zerene cesonia). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zerene_cesonia One of my favorite Sulphurs, you can just barely see the black pattern on the inside of the wings, but the pointed forewings and white spot pattern are unmistakable.
