Olympia Marble - Euchloe olympia
Kudos to anyone who can get a good photo of this type of butterfly. I must have seen over 60 of these, but they're in the air as soon as they see you, they tend to stay in the air (though they flutter softly and low), and when they do land, it's for brief periods. I don't know if it was the position of the sun or the temperature, but they all were landing with their wings partially open.
