Hi Charlie,
It looks like a Green-veined White to me. See

Hi Vince,
I did suspect it may be a Green-veined White pupa so thanks for your second opinion. It's not a species I've seen the early stages of before so I'll go back and try and remove it intact and rear it through just to make absolutely sure.
Charlie.

Hi again,
I managed to collect the pupa intact the following day and this emerged from it overnight (Mar.13th)
Well ID-ed Vince!

Excellent
It's a bit early, but so is everything else so far.
