Just acuired a blackbird fledgling with rather rare paint job (Its white) ;o)
 
Hi Terry,

Welcome to BirdForum!

I'd guess it is an albino, or at least a partial albino (if it is a true full albino, it will have pink bill & legs and red eyes).

I suspect its chances of long life are not good, it will stick out like a sore thumb, very visible to potential predators (cats, sparrowhawks, etc)

Michael
