Unusual bird and I both got lucky

I saw an unusual bird with some strange reflections on its body yesterday.
Apparently it got lucky, so did I!

Looks more like a partially leucistic bird - immature birds also have a lot of white but not this much. Great photos.

Dinu, thanks for your comments.

I read about leucistic American robins elsewhere. Just glad I got to see it myself.

I went back today, there were still a group of robins, but my model wasn't there anymore.
