It is unlikely that it was a Clouded Yellow as there haven't been any all summer and to have one around in November is almost unimaginable even in a year which has been terrific for migrant lepidoptera.
Brimstones can be found in adult form in any month of the year, so I would definitely go with that! Please send details of site etc
