Is this is a partial leucistic male Goldfinch that I saw in the meadows at Thickson Woods.

I am leaning towards a male in a molt stage between winter and summer plumage. Thats a guess due to seeing a slight bit of yellow on mixed in with the white chest/belly area.

Thanks Paul.  It does look like a molting stage.
