Is this American robin leucistic?

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN Candy Brus

Kenn and Kimberly: Yes, this is a good example of the effects of leucism on a bird’s plumage. This robin isn’t a true albino, because it has dark eyes, a bright yellow bill and some areas of normal gray and orange rufous in its feathers. But it’s lacking most of the pigment in its plumage, creating this striking mostly white bird. Leucism occurs regularly in American robins, but it’s a rare and special experience any time you get to see one like this.
