Welcome to Birdforum.

It looks like the bird is leucistic. You can read more about leucism here

Don't know what the ratio might be but albino birds, especially blackbirds are far more unusual than leucistic individuals.

Hello and welcome to the forum, enjoy and all the best. Definitely a leucistic one, if it was an albino it would be all white.
