Pieridae, Appias sp., female. Looks like being Appias libythea (olferna). Taxonomy is confusing. There is also an Appias olferna which is/was previously considered as a subspecies of Appias libythea, so Appias libythea olferna. But you also will find Appias olferna libythea, which is in my eyes a wrong mix of the names. Please, verify yourself!
