Rare White Raven

Ravens are black, rarely white. I'm lucky to have a white raven frequenting the field near our house.

I didn't get a close look but the eyes don't appear red. Albino birds have red eyes and also lack any kind of pigmentation. The white raven could be leucistic, which means it has less than normal pigmentation resulting in a pale appearance.
