Alan, I don't think so...Check out the spring form of Mustard White on the Butterfllies of America website: http://butterfliesofamerica.com/t/Pieris_o_oleracea_a.htm In Peter's specimen, there is no evidence of (sharper) dark scaling along the veins of the FW apex and on the HW. Also, the rounded FW apex and the "dirty" whitish ground color do suggest WV White...Now, if we had a shot of the underside then we would know for sure...
