Came to the bird feeder with other sparrows. I think it has faint sparrow markings.

It's a leucistic sparrow; a genetic condition where a certain amount of pigment is missing. Not as extreme as a true albino & most likely the same species of sparrow as the ones it was with. I wish the little fellow well, because unfortunately the white coloring is like a bullseye for predators.

I've never seen a white sparrow. What a gift to have it visit you lilolpeapicker,
