The dorsal (top) view of the forewing has a broad dark margin and the hindwings of the female has black just at the beginning of the edge. Males have a full black border on their hindwings. Females are can be yellow or white (dimorphic).
Riparian meadow and woodland edge.
These small butterflies can be confused with a Sleepy Orange because they are the same size, but they are never orange.

Thank you. I always try for one, but they do try one's patience. Sleepy Orange are worse since they usually fly about so wildly and never seem to land.
Nice spotting they are so hard to photograph :):)
