white eagle

Leucism is a genetic condition that prevents pigment from coloring some of a bird's dark feathers, causing discolored or white feathers. A few feathers of this eagle show some coloration, but overall its plumage is almost all white.

They also feature in myths and legends and as spirit guides.
