This was photographed in Phu Khieo WS, ne Thailand in Aug 24. I am assuming this is an Appias species, but I have never seen one so strangely marked.
The yellow rim around the edges of both wings is strange and I note the broad hindwing margin.
My guess would be A. albina, but I would be interested if anyone has ever seen one like this. I have no images looking like this.
Many thanks.

Female Appias paulina adamsoni.

Both females of A. albina & paulina have multiple forms.

The female of A. albina have the HW border's inner margin strongly serrated.
eg. female from Chiang mai.

The female of A. paulina have the HW border broader, & the margin merely irregular or undulate.
eg. females from Chantaburi.
