Showed up in my yard in Berwyn Heights (PG County) yesterday. Wouldn't stay still for more than a few seconds. My best guess is a Cloudless Sulphur, but am no longer sure because the pink border on the wings seems stronger than in any of the pictures I've seen , and the cheeks(?) are green. Also, other pictures did not show a line of brown spots paralleling the back edge of the wings. For scale, the flowers (tickseed coreopsis) are about 1" across.

Orange Sulphur.  If you see ANY orange, it's an orange sulphur.  Clouded would be uniformly pale yellow, and Cloudless would lack the row of submarginal spots on both both wings.
