Really a Robin

This leucistic robin was photographed by Bill Moses at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. Leucism is related to albinism, but in this case the normal pigmentation is diluted rather than lacking, resulting in birds whose plumage is lighter than normal, but not pure white. The leucistic robin does have a reddish breast. Compared to a normal robin, the color is a bit washed out. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
