Pied

Leucistic robin at Neligh, Nebraska. The bill appears to be slightly deformed, but this may or may not be related to the unusual plumage; indeed, it's possible that the bill deformation is developmental rather than genetic. In any case, the bird seemed quite healthy, so the anomaly doesn't seem to be debilitating.
