I saw this Robin while at a Cracker Barrel in PA. It looked really pale to me. Would this be considered a leucistic American Robin?

Looks pretty normal for a dull worn adult female American Robin.
The edges of the secondaries and greater coverts look tattered.
Probably a month or so away from a new fresh basic plumage.
CHEERS, JOE
 
Joe is correct. A lot of our local robins here in PA look similar to the one pictured, this time of year. It's simply worn and faded--but otherwise normal--plummage.
