This almost-white sparrow looks like the House Sparrow that has been tending with the flock of about 50 in my back yard in Halifax since early January.  The others chased it at first, but it has now joined the flock and appears to be doing well.  It has a very pale grey cheek patch, mantle and wings, but is otherwise white.  The pale bill and legs are also albino-like, but the iris is dark.

  Back in late September, someone named as Galeksis posted a pic of an all-white Sparrow from Halifax. The pic was in the memorable events section:
