I am by no means a bird expert. But if I shot it I'd call a "True Albino". Albino's happen is all species of life including humans...........Bob

Interesting!

Crazy how it lost all of its iridescent colors. Almost like it was photoshopped to a black & white.

Hope you had it mounted!

I tend to agree that it is a form of being albino but I've seen an albino before and it's truly white. It's almost like this one was caught in between.

Scared white when young by a Kansas cougar!

An albino is generally pure white. I sure wouldn't consider that bird an albino.

Agreed, his head is completely normal.... He will be on the wall for sure.

The bird is really cool I would have that mounted in a heart beat. Where did the horns come from?

If you are hanging on to that rack here in Ks you need a tag for it. If it was found while hunting contact a game warden and he can get a tag so you can keep it legally.

"Here in Kansas".... Cause I'm not from here and all. Thanks Guys I've got it covered.

 

[fourtrax]

Definitely lost or never had normal pigmentation or feather color.

I would call that a "buff" rooster. Our local game farm produces a lot of birds like that, but a truly wild buff is definitely a wall hanger. On another note I bet that coloration wouldn't impress a hen to much during mating season, possibly why we don't see more of this variation.

 

[Spence]

Good call on the "Buff" Rooster... I did a little google searching on that, and thats about the closest I've seen to what this bird looks like.

Altho I did not see one like that this year, I usually see one every year off a certain piece of ground. They are a tad more colorfull than this. I have a wreath made from a young one and will photo it one of these days. That's a more mature bird there.
