Leucistic Trumpeter Swan
"Leucism (/ˈljuːkɪzəm/; or /ˈluːsɪzəm/) is a condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation in an animal resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales or cuticle, but not the eyes. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in multiple types of pigment, not just melanin."
He's quite a stand-out. Instead of black legs and feet his are bright orange-yellow. His bill would normally be black too but his is mottled pink, black and yellow.
