Will be interesting to see what others think. Good pictures, wish I was more 
knowledgeable, it is an interesting mystery.

Something similar happened to me a few years back here in Va. It turned out my 
mystery bird was an exotic that had escaped from someone's home or a pet shop. 
I don't know if this is the case with your bird, but it is certainly 
interesting!

Last week I was told about a strange looking bird that had been visiting a 
feeded in Tazewell for several weeks. I was able to get some photographs of the 
bird today. The opinions of what species the bird is have been diverse. i 
beleive it is a leucistic sparrow, possibly a Fox Sparrow. I would appreciate 
any comments, opinions, or suggestions as to the species. I have posted photos 
to the pbase at the following link.
