Brimstone butterfly. When this butterfly roosts among foliage, the angular shape and the strong veining of their wings closely resembles leaves. There is a view that the word 'butterfly' originates from the yellow colour of male Brimstones.

Great photo and interesting linguistic quirk. In North America we would call it a "sulfur butterfly".
