Hi Louis and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

That's certainly a very pale individual, isn't it. He's leucistic, rather than albino though. You can read more about it HERE. An albino would be pure white with pink eyes.

I've never seen one quite like this before..... very well spotted.

I hope you enjoy your time here with us.
