Orange barred sulphur?

This is a really crappy picture..the dang thing was faster than any
butterfly I have shot, including the blue morphos (if you've EVER tried
to shoot one of these at a conservatory, you'll understand). I shot a
burst of 11 pics and got only one that was halfway presentable :(

But, I believe it is a very worn female orange barred sulphur as she
was only interested in the popcorn cassia which is a host plant for
sulphurs. She was laying eggs though. If you look closely at the end of
her curled abdomen, you'll see a single egg. I'm sure she laid more but
couldn't get pics.
