   We were told this is a leucistic Junco. It was only around for one afternoon and seemed more tame than the other Juncos. It definitely held it’s own with the Sparrows at the feeder!

     Hello, thanks for reaching out. This looks to be a Dark-eyed Junco with a form of leucism or albinism. The leg band is most likely from a researcher or instituion doing bird banding.
