Leucistic Indian Peafowl (Male) - IMG_1017 - Edited

This peacock is not an albino; it's actually leucistic, as a result of selective breeding. The pigmentation in his feathers is absent, leaving the bird as white as snow, but the pigmentation in his eyes remains, which would be absent in an albino.

 

Taken in the grounds of Scone Palace, the historic site of the coronation of Scottish royalty.
