Thanks, Mike.  I called it like I saw it, and never saw any spots.  I agree with Moose, that spots are normally present.  But, the ridge patterns on the underside sure look like a CW to me.

Moose is correct that a dusky forewing or one or two spots  (depending if male 
or female) were not seen as typical of a CW, but from a certain angle a shot of 
the wing undersides can miss both.
'Round here anything close to a CW is almost always a CW.  There are alba forms 
of Sulphurs but it doesn't look like that to me.  West Virginia Whites might be 
in Jim's neck of the woods.
