It's a pity I only got the one picture, it must have flown before I could get more.

I just looked at the marking at the apex of the forewing and its extension in relation to the black spot. But from this perspective it's not easy to judge it.

I tried to judge by the underside of the hind wing, looking at the pattern of the veins. The one near the inboard leading edge has a more pronounced curve which matched another picture identified as a Large White, but I am also not certain.

Could also be a larger Pieris rapae?? From this perspective I am not sure.
