Nice shot, welcome to Birdforum.Net...This is not an Albino, as all forms of albino have pink eyes. This bird has a condition called "Leucism". A beautiful bird, and a great find, lucky you.

What a great picture of this unusual beastie. He's really rather beautiful, isn't he.

You've made a wonderful start to your Gallery and I look forward to seeing some more of your work.

Welcome to Birdforum.
