Tatochila mercedis
Pieridae?
Garden; surrounding habitat was thorn scrub.
Certainly a Pieridae, Stephen, but a really tough one. I think it should be Tatochila mercedis, but I cannot get down to subspecies level. If you look at the several species and compare the markings, there is only Tatochila mercedis left.
