Coordinator notes: Sorry that I first thought this was too light or whitish for a Sulphur and called it a Canal Scarlet Eye, Salatis canalis. (A rare find!) But I'm now convinced that it is just a lighter version of the Orange-barred Sulphur. If someone believes otherwise, please mark this misidentified and explain the reason. Thanks!
