A Small Asian Mongoose. This is the second time I met this lovely animal in LV.3551d16c4689445

There were so many Albino birds this year. How about this? An Albino White Wagtail!
But I suspect it is a dyed bird instead.

An interesting wagtail, really deserving the name 'White' Wagtail!
It's leucistic (reduced pigment) rather than albino (completely lacking pigment). The head pattern is still vaguely visible and suggests that this is subspecies [i]ocularis[/i], so is presumably a migrant.
