Hello there all. A friend of the magpies, I noticed a familiar shape in the distance that didn't have the same colouring that I was used to. I walked closer, my eyes hadn't lied. This magpie was wearing half a tuxedo.
Location is a court in the suburbs of Vermont South, Victoria. The bird was with a youngster at least a year old and
One side of its body is mostly white, with a normal coloured head. The other side is a normal black body with a white back, but it has a large white monocle. 
is this leucanism? have no binoculars to check eye colour to confirm. Or is it something else? There's a few pics here.
Apologies for such awful photos.
Thanks for any responses,

In my limited experience I would say yes. I though eye colour changes only affected albinos but could be wrong
Looks like leucism, as you say hard to confirm without looking at the eyes. Interesting pictures, thanks for posting
wow, how interesting. thanks for posting, i had no idea about this.
