Pareronia hippia
The Indian Wanderer (Pareronia hippia) is a medium sized butterfly of the family Pieridae, that is, the Yellows and Whites, and is found in India. There seem to be 2 Female dimorphs, of which this one is the most common. The second one has bright yellow colour at the base of the wings, and is more rare.
Seen in a park on the side of Arunachala Mountain.
Looking for help to ID this butterfly. A new spotting for me in this area.
thanks Nuwan. Think it looks more like the Indian wanderer... Solves the problem of another one I saw at the edge of the park and only got a closed wing shot!
