Could someone tell me whether I'm just crazy or does this magpie have melanism? I've never seen a nearly all black magpie before and searched the internet for a while but couldn't find much info that was very helpful. Thoughts?

Colour mutaitions accure in most birds (and mamals) we tend to notice them more in the ones we see more often this one has only a couple of white feathers,there was a pied one on site a few days ago that was almost all white both ends of the spectum (some of the darker ones may lose the pigmentation after thier first moult )
