Re: Female orange tip (i think)
Nice image. I would agree with your ID. You can see the patterning of the underwing through the transparent hind wing. I am still waiting for the Orange-tips to appear in my garden. Their larval food-plant is growing in abundance!

Re: Female orange tip (i think)
When just the uppersides are visible they do look very similar to the common whites don't they, particularly when flying past.
The Orange Tip males have been flying around me for the past couple of weeks but I can't get one to pose for a photo. They fly around my head and briefly land for a second then they are off again in their search for a female.
One landed near me yesterday and was looking possible then a rambler walked past and it was gone again!
