First one I've ever seen like this and I wish I had better pictures but my phone was dead after the hunt and I got these sent to me by the customers, i took the bird in to the taxi for em as well so I should get some better pictures when he thaws back out, or when it's finished. Anyways the bird was totally blonde all over, like a cinnamon white color, all over his back belly and wings. Feet were whitish colored too with black spots, bill was lighter too. My first thought was a can/redhead cross but it's definately a straight up redhead with a strong case of leucism or just some weird color mutation. I've been apart of over 1000's of redheads killed over the years and this is the first one I've seen like this. You'll see the leucism in the hens often around their heads and sometimes on the back buy nothing like this, especially in a drake. Cool bird

I think oddities and crosses are very very cool! Can't wait to see the mount.
