Skinner's Sulphur (Colias skinneri)

Considered by some as a subspecies of Pelidne Sulphur. Found in a narrow range at fairly high elevation in the northern Rockies from Alberta/British Colombia south through Idaho/MT/WY/OR. Note the pink edges, single and heavily rimmed VHW eye spot, lack of post median spots, and especially the black "overscaling" in the forewing.
