Two small Eurema butterflies photographed at Doi Phu Kha, n Thailand.
I am pretty confident the first image is Talbot's Grass Yellow E. ada. Not so sure about the second image, but given it's relatively small size could be (but maybe just a small E. hecabe)?.
Many thanks.

1 is E. ada The FW outer margin curved in from tornus towards the apex ,so that the FW appears more rounded.
HW postdiscal spot 7 is a long narrow streak.

E. hecabe FW not significantly rounde & HW postdiscal spot 7 a shorter streak or a blotch.
The image from Doi Phu Kha is a match.
