Tui - Not Black

So exciting to have captured this tui, it is the second time I found a tui that is not black.

@kali66 interesting. Either too old or have genetic mutation.

Well spotted Yao. I've never heard of this pigmentation of a tui. Kali's Stuff article is interesting.

A great shot, Yao! And how unique! I agree with Maggiemae: I think you should send this shot to National Geographic or a birding organization perhaps. (Fav!)
