Spotted this fast flying butt Sat morning, thought it was just a chocolate albratoss but was lucky to take a few shots when it suddenly landed right in font of me to take pic of it. Only than I realized it is not a C.A.

Can someone pls. advice what is the ID of this butt (Appias spp?), anyway it should be a +1 for me :-)

Yes, It is a female Malaysian Albatross.

Generally, most authors are calling it Saletara panda distanti instead of S. liberia distanti.
S. liberia is now reserved for the forms in the Papuan region.
(Saletara -after the Saletar people.)

Great find & Congrats.:cheers:
