Robin which swapped wings with a Warbler? :D

I'm not finding anything just like this an any of our books.

Beak, body, shape and tail are Robin. Wing coloring, stripes and shape are Warbler.

Hmmmmmmm

I'd submit that, along with some flying shots and a description of hunting habits to the Audobon Society.

Pops, I'm no expert birder, but I think your friend is correct, a Robin with a bit of albino coloring (or lack of coloring).

By the way, if you like Robins, install a bird bath. We've got one and the Robins are always using it, even when it's raining.
 
I am a birder and it is an American Robin. The white feathers are called leucistic. Once in a while you can see one that is almost all white. An albino bird would show no color anywhere and the eyes would be red. Leucistic birds have varying amounts of white but their eyes and legs are normal color.
 
Thanks Keith for clearing this "mystery" up. I knew someone on this forum would be able to give an answer to us.
