Leucistic Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua papua), Carcass Island, Falkland Islands
This Gentoo has reduced pigmentation in its feathers, so is unnaturally pale. It is described as leucistic and the condition is called leucism. An albino would have no pigment at all, and would be pure white with red eyes.
