Wow, I love the brown fringe on the edges of its wings.

Thanks for the ID. It's definitely not an orange sulphur - from the video & photos I have from the side & top, it appears to be the common/clouded sulphur. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It might be common, but I've never seen one before -and I've lived in the same 50 square mile area in North Texas for over 40 years (and I'm very observant). :)

Colias eurytheme and Colias philodice are quite common. You have to check these ones. But might also be another one...
