Moose, you may be correct. When I watched it in flight, it appeared
pure white. The Sulfurs I'm familiar with normally appear yellow in
flight. I'll do some more digging and see what I can find.

Note the wing rib details on this one that I just found online.

This Cabbage White butterfly kept disappearing into the foliage.
This is a "grab shot" over which I had very little control, shooting
between leaves. In flight, they appear white. In repose, there is a
hint of the black spots on the upper side of the wings. The color is
straight from the Olympus E-1.

Sure that's a Cabbage White? Not some sort of Sulfur?
The black spots on the ones I've photographed are clearly visible and
defined on the underside.

Even when a bit yellowish on the bottom, the spots are clear.

The hints of upper wing patterns here are different. No experience in
your neck of the woods, but the above are true here and in Maine.
