Colias croceus
Very common butterfly. Photographed at 'Fuente de piedra' lagoon.
Thanks for all your comments.
Ashish and Karen, thanks for your help. I think Colias crocea is more common in Andalucia.
Decide yourself...

Ashish, you can see a hint of orange on the upper wing which is absent in the pale clouded yellow, which is why I am certain this is Colias crocea!
Karen...
This is great spotting...
These small Yellows are so tough to catch...!!
Solves the mystery of my butterfly. I thought it was a sulfur. It was still flying around after a huge snowstorm. They are beautiful!
