Interesting - sticks out a bit! Although could get passed off as a distant dove.
We have a chough with a bit of white in the wings round us - always nice to see.
Out of interest (this one is obvious) I had a finch the other day at Tarbes - I only saw it in flight (it resembled a Linnet) that stood out because it was very light sandy coloured. I couldn't see the bird or get near the bird on the deck. But how do you grade these sorts of birds when is leucistic or albino or visa versa?

Albino is when there is no pigment at all, only white. All others are considered leucistic, I believe.
