leucenistic or imcomplete albino hummingbird?

12 years ago

I just noticed this little piebald hummingbird at my feeder on Christmas Eve day but I'm not sure how long she may have been visiting us. Living in Orange Co, CA and feeding the little birds for many years, I sometimes have 30 or so hummers feeding at once.

I've researched the leucistic variation but it mentions lack of coloring in the feathers with normal beak, eyes and feet. Although this bird isn't completely white, it does have pink feet and beak. Not sure about the eyes.

What do you all think? Hopefully it's a nesting female and I'll soon see little ones at the feeder too!
