Definitily not Phoebis, too small for that and different form and colors. Still: Eurema sp.

If the wings are closed you usually can't see the dark edges.

looks similar, but neither butterfly had any dark markings on the edges/corners of the upper sides of the wings.

I think this one is also Eurema sp., but you have to verify yourself. Just a guess.
