Here is a common eurasian magpie with Ieucism! Ieucism is a less severe form of albinism, which means this magpie has partial loss of all pigmentation. This magpie should really be black, blue, and white - but instead due to this phenomena it is brown and white! Only ONE in SIX MILLION (0.000016~%) eurasian magpies have this condition, so this was a very rare photo!
