Birds leucistic Spotted Towhee

[Merlinator]

When I was out shooting ducks the other day I came upon a leucistic Towhee. This was a first in two ways. The first was obvious it was leucistic but the second it was the first time a wild Towhee had eaten out of my hand. Chickadees, Nuthatches and Red-winged blackbird do it all the time but Towhees are very wary, ususally. I've also posted a normal Towhee for comparison.
