I was reading somewhere that if the lighting is right and you can see the dark
border in the terminal area of the forewing, you can use that to separate
Orange from Clouded. On males, if that dark border extends past the row of
black dots, it's an Orange and if it doesn't, it's a Clouded. On females, an
Orange will have large yellow spots within the border and a Clouded with have
small yellow spots. The images on BOLD appear to show this is true.

day at O'Neal Lake at the Hatchie NWR in Haywood County. While I was looking
mainly for birds, I did happen to see my first butterflies of the year! It was
hard to believe there was 4 inches of sleet and snow on the ground last week
with the temperature at 74 today. Gorgeous day!
Polygonia spp. - 4 (Probably both Eastern Comma and Question Mark as 2 were
small and 2 were fairly large)
Mourning Cloak - 1
Orange Sulphur - 1 (these spring Orange Sulphurs are really yellow, but note
the hint of orange and the heavy dark overscaling)
