In it came into my garden, fluttering its lovely wings.... in I ran throwing my garden tool to bring the camera. It did cooperate well for a few shots. Which butterfly I was shooting? Please help.

I'm trying to classify my own files in the PC. Does anyone know where this belongs, please?

maybe a in the Belenois Genus these are listed for Africa but look a lot like yours except for being lighter.

This butterfly is in the family Pieridae, most likely a species known as the small salmon arab, Colotis amata - see http://tinyurl.com/yf2couk
