Resident Albino Robin here in Glen Williams ..... truly bizarre ..... but cool looking too.....  8)  8)  8)

Typical behavior ..... doing regular stuff and hanging out with the "Normal" Robins

Best pictures I could manage (Full Zoom) ..... a lifer bird for me .....  :D  :D  :D

Nice one, really cool colors. I believe partially leucistic is the correct term (an albino would be all white with red eyes) as this one is lacking the dark pigments, but has the red pigments and bill colour intact.
