E. novapallida or E. brigatta?

[DaveChiangMai]

An interesting Eurema photo from Doi Phu Kha (Nan province, n Thailand). The very oval wing shape of the hind wing is confusing me. If this was E. brigatta there forewing should be oval, but it appears more square. Given the pale colouration could this be E. novapallida? The oval shape of the hind wing would appear to rule out most species?

Also I note the pale brown antenna tips, whereas most images on the web have black antenna tips. Does tip colour vary between individuals?

Many thanks
