Uncommon version of common bird

These photos are not crystal clear and sharp, as I would like them to be, but I thought they might be of interest to the UHH community in spite of that. It was a very shy bird and took quite awhile to settle down and become less concerned about me. To begin with I only caught glimpses of a white streak and was pretty puzzled as to the type of bird I had visiting my garden. I finally got a good look at it and found out on the internet that it's a partial albino.

Its a Leucistic or "Pied" Robin, not all that common, but many are sighted every year. Nice capture.
