The Chinese for 'Leucistic' is '白色亞種'.  This is different to '白化' ('Albino').
Nevertheless, your photos are excellent!

I believe this is not a correct Chinese translation and is quite misleading indeed as leucistic individuals do not naturally form a subspecies (亞種). A more appropriate and commonly used term would be "白變".

Thank you for the correction.  Yes, 白變 is probably a more popular and better translation for leucistic.  Someone may wish to rectify Wikipedia as well..
