Hi All
Hopefully I have added a picture (as an attachment) of what I have been told is a Small White Aberration ? Green Veined White has also been suggested ? It was taken Monday evening at Fordham Wood reserve in Cambridgeshire. Any pointers etc appreciated.
All the best
Steve Andrews

Surely a well marked female Green-veined White.

Yes that has been suggested by someone on an FB group, then another friend suggested Small White ! Hence posting on here to get a consensus of opinions. The habitat was correct for what I think of for GVW, being close to wet woodland.
Thanks for replying

Yes, its a well marked (but well within normal variation) female Green-veined White

Small and Green-veined Whites do quite often fly together (just to confuse us all), but that one is most certainly a female Green-veined White.
Cheers,

As has been said, there is no doubt here: she is a green-veined white, and within the normal range of variation.
