Unusual Bird: Female house finch with white head and primaries
Additional images:
Among a small flock of house finches at the feeder, there was a female with a white head and white primary feathers. All other plumage coloration appeared normal. This bird appeared only once during my Feeder Watch sessions this week.

That finch is leucistic. Meaning that some or all of the feathers lack pigment.
