I think it is a Colias hyale or a Colias alfacariensis.

Thanks, I'll stick to an uncertain C. hyale.

Maybe better to stick to uncertain C. alfacariensis then, at least in the departement just north of the departement where you did your observation C. alfacariensis seems to be by far the more common species. See this pdf from page 17 on: http://www.butterflyireland.com/eig13.pdf

OK, I will adjust the species name. Thanks for pointing out this instructive article.
