white peacock
Pale ornamental bird
A white peacock is a peafowl with white plumage, the result of a genetic mutation called leucism rather than albinism—the birds retain normal eye color.
White peacocks are the same species as the familiar blue-green Indian peafowl, just lacking pigmentation.
They're prized as ornamental birds: A white peacock fanned its tail on the mansion lawn.
