[FRIAM] While walking to get tacos...

What you wrote was so close to a poem, I took it as such, at first, until I
read the question at the end.  

The short answer is "I don't know!"

Now for the educated guesses: 

	1. Albinism is a simple matter, genetically; possibly a one gene
knockout.   So, yes to your question.
	2.  Sun glints off bird's feathers.  Perhaps your bird caught the
sun right?  So, no to your question.
	3.  There are ravens that live south of here, in the Bosque, and up
into the Sangres, called the white-necked or Chuhuahuan Raven.   The
juveniles have a white patch above their shoulders.  So, perhaps, maybe to
your question.

Above my house, an unkindness of ravens flew.
And distinguished from the many was one
whose feathers shone white, almost translucent against the sky in the bright
sunlight.
Is this a common genetic variant?
