Albino goldfinch pays a visit, I think

A yellow standout among the American Goldfinches.

When the light yellow bird joined the American Goldfinches at my feeders, I used my phone to snap a couple of pics.

I knew I could bother David H. with another "name that bird" question, but I wanted to figure it out myself.

It took me a couple of hours, but I decided it was an albino goldfinch.

Or looks likes a case of partial leucism.

Did I get the ID right?

The yellow visitor was hungry.

I hope it comes back, and I can get better photos.
