Rare bird

We took the dogs down to Strichen Lake this morning, just about avoiding most of the rain, and saw this beauty.
I think it is probably more likely leucism than albinism.

In a nutshell: Birds with abnormal plumages are very rare, and both leucism and albinism are easily recognized and more commonly reported than other abnormal plumages. According to survey data, leucism and albinism occur at a rough estimate of 1 in 30,000 birds. Leucism is more common than albinism.
