Small White?

Thoughts please. I saw this butterfly in the garden about a week ago. It was very small and appeared to lack any noticeable black mark at the top of the upperwing. Pretty sure the underwing rules out Green-veined so I'm assuming Small White.

Thanks

Hi Steve,

From this angle it looks like a Small White. Some males in the Spring Brood may only have very faint black markings which would explain the appearance of this individual.
