Large White Butterfly on Thistle

Large White Butterfly on Thistle
I'm pretty sure I have the ID correct but there a quite a view similar "white" butterflies around, so feel free to correct me if you know better :-)

For anyone that cares about these things, the EXIF says this was taken at 210mm whilst showing a 40-150mm lens. That's because I was also using a 1.4 teleconverter

I have a biscuit tin with butterflies and their names on Keith, and the times I open it, I should really know butterfly names by heart, but I think you are right!
You have captured the detail very well and I love the thistle, which is my favourite colour.

I hope you have a pleasant Sunday and good new week ahead.

A terrific capture and lovely colour to the thistle Keith I like excellent detail especially as you were using a teleconverter which often reduces the quality, Sorry I'm no help with the Id which is sad considering I grew up in a rural area.

Beautifully captured. I know what you mean about white butterflies. I used to think there were only cabbage whites.
