Wilting Yellowish Leaves

Hey folks,

I am pretty new to gardening, but have grown a few pepper plants in the past with good luck. This year I am growing [among others] a yellow cayenne pepper in a pot. It was doing pretty well, and actually has a pretty decent sized pod on it, but I noticed over the weekend that the leaves are turning yellow, and kind of wilting. I try not to over water, usually waiting until I can dig down into the soil a couple of inches and it isn't that wet. I wasn't sure if it was lack of nutrients in the soil, too many nutrients in the soil, too much sun, etc.

Anything I should watch out for or change in my care of the plant? I have a potted habanero plant right next to it that is doing fine, and the red cayennes I have growing in my raised bed are all looking really good...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
