You will be surprised! It is a Pieridae butterfly! It is either Pereute callinice or Pereute callinira. They are not distinguishable without the native specimen. You are lucky, this is my ID #4000! http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/pereute_c_callinira.htm http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/pereute_c_callinice.htm
