Pigment deficient Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna), Florence, Pinal County

This pigment deficient Anna's Hummingbird was found and photographed by Lee Navarro on 28 January 2018

This male is lacking melanin in both bare parts and feathers, with white around the bill and eye, and pink instead of dark bill and legs.

Hummingbirds lacking pigment are regularly seen, though it is still rare.
