This was in our garden for a long time and though it was a quick flyer I could manage reasonable shots. I could manage to shoot when it sat on a flower and suddenly would change flower. It was tough. Which is this? On flight, its upperside wing had a whitish appearance and not yellow.
This could be one of the subspecies of Cepora nerissa (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) - see http://tinyurl.com/lper5u for an example.
Yes it is the common gull. Thanks suunto.
