Dog-face Sulfur Butterfly ?

Dog-face Sulfur Butterfly ?

Observed in the Coast range mountains of San Luis Obispo county, California,
The California Dog-face is the State insect of California, but I am not sure if this is a California dog-face, or a Southern dog-face.
Confirmation of ID welcomed please.
