Leucistic Rufous-bellied Thrush (Turdus rufiventris)

What an amazing and beautiful capture this is! I'm surprised it is not considered albino.

What a great and unusual find!

A super picture you've taken of him Fabio - many thanks for sharing this picture.

A beautiful looking bird...Lovely capture.

Thanks, folks. According to local ornithologists, it is not considered albino because only its feathers do not have pigmentation. It it was albino, then the eyes would be red.

Rufous-bellied Thrushes stay in the same area for long periods, so I have been watching this guy for some months. I always see it in the same area, about 400 square meters. Spring is approaching so I hope it will be able to nest. Again, according to local ornithologists, if it is a male it will have almost no chance to find a partner, but if it is a female the it has good chances.

Regards,
Fabio.

Very beautiful image, stunning bird.
