LEUCISTIC AMERICAN ROBIN, COLONEL SAMUEL SMITH PARK, ETOBICOKE, TORONTO, ONTARIO, 4/9/2026

   This American Robin has significant white on its underparts, so it is probably leucistic.  Leucism is a genetic condition in birds causing loss of pigmentation (specifically melanin) in feathers, resulting in white parches, like this robin has.
