Albino Robin? Finch Beak? (1 Viewer)

HI,

I bet everyone knows what this bird is straight away, but I'm a bit stumped.

My mate has what appears to be an albino Robin in his garden, but it also appears to have a finch like beak. Could anyone confirm what it is for us please.

Sorry the photo's not the best.

It does look like a Robin, especially the second photo.
There maybe 2 explanations why the bill looks odd.
1. It's just the blur on the photo, when in actual fact it's just a standard Robin-like bill.
2. As the bird has a feather abnormality, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that it has a deformed bill too.
