Identification?

This guy's been hanging around the feeders for about a month. I'm guessing an albino Goldfinch. Anyone else know for sure?

Female goldfinch or a canary.
Jujst checked with the Audobon bird guide. Definitely not a goldfinch or yellow warbler. Unless it’s an albino.

A white zebra finch I believe.
Checked photos of the male zebra and it looks right except for the fact that the head of this one is yellowish rather than the bird being all white.

I'd go with an escaped canary.
If so, it's not going to last long in this climate.

Not an albino, but I think you're right about the Goldfinch!

I believe it is a leucistic goldfinch. Not quote albino. Mike
I think so also. A true albino would have no pigment in the eyes - they would be pink.

Just looked up photos and descriptions of leucistic Goldfinch and a couple match this bird perfectly. Thank you all for your information.
