[va-bird] Partial albino House Finch

In the course of participating in the Fort Belvoir CBC today, I came across a 
partial albino House Finch. It was part of a group of approximately 100 House 
Finches, which group seems to be a regular winter event where Danbury Forest 
Road crosses a power line (Fairfax County).

The bird in question appeared to be a male, with all the parts that would 
normally be red being pure white, while the browner bits (including 
streaking) appeared about normal, perhaps a little paler.

I have not seen this plumage before.
