I am pretty sure it is an Eurema sp., I think it is Eurema daira eugenia, however, Eurema elathea vitellina looks very similar, but I nevertheless see some differences between the too: The black part of the forewing is sharper cut in Daira and there is in Daira a bigger black part on the hindwing compared to Elathea which has mor some "band-like" black and "spiky" margin. Do you have other shots? Please, check yourself!
