I know this is an albino bird… but not sure what kind! These two sightings were on two occasions, first three pictures are from July 30 and the last three are from August 14. I think it could be the same one! It was in the same area/neighborhood.

Thoughts on what it could be?

Drawing of Catfish the barn cat

He also never ever wore a collar. That was creative riffing. He was a barn cat that lived outside and in a barn only, ate pests and would have never ever let anybody put a collar on him even if they had tried. He was seen like family to an extent though, especially to the 'lil 'uns who thought he was the coolest cat ever because he acted more like a dog than a cat. So I think the collar is more or less indicative of that he was viewed as part of the family, though technically, man was pretty wild acting. He was not one who could be tamed by any means.

He was previously an entirely feral cat but he went through a program for "working cats", then became a "working cat". He stayed on the properly but by choice and could've left whenever he wanted, and he did a few times.

This seems to be a leucistic species. I originally thought sparrow, but a lot of people have convinced me that it is a finch. Without the normal coloration it's amazing how hard this is to pin down. American Goldfinch, Pine Siskin, and Lesser Goldfinch seem to be the most popular suggestions. I think I am liking Lesser Goldfinch, but I am waiting for the experts to weight in! Be sure to see the 2nd photo!
