FYI What I’m learning is leucistic can refer to total body, like this bird, (or the Gadwall at Gunners last winter) or be piebald in pattern like this robin I photo’d recently. And it can be white or just partially bleached in color. Albinism is a total lack of pigment and affects the eye as well. Here is more than you ever wanted to know about nomenclature and mechanisms of pigment abnormalities in birds.
