Unusual Bird: Plumage variaition on MODO
This MODO has mottled plumage with colors of white, black, and buff MODO color. I assume it is the offspring of an all white dove and one of the other MODOs from the flock that frequent my yard.

Hi Jennifer, I believe that this dove is actually leucistic. Leucism is the partial loss of pigments in an animal, which results in white, patchy, or pale coloration.
