Hi, it looks like a Small White male.

The Small White female has two spots.

The Large White male has no spots and the female has two large dark spots.

Agreed - male Small White.

Another difference is that the black markings at the apex of the forewing are more horizontal than vertical in the Small White, and more vertical than horizonal in the Large White. Assuming the critter is upright!

Cheers,

- Pete
