For the white I would suggest ergane, very local in Spain, but I have seen it at the Congost de Collegats, near La Pobla de Segur.

The white lacks a fork in vein 7, strongly suggesting it's not rapae. The density of scaling appears to be far too little for mannii, which also usually shows a costal shadow from the underside (though this might be the light), and it's obviously not napi. I think Misha has again jumped straight to the answer!

I must visit this part of Spain in 2011 - it will fill some gaps in my photo collection!
