Brad, this is not my photo, but is from the KS photo gallery.

All of the so-called "albino" Baird's that I have seen in the past look to very clearly be hypomelanistic rather than true T- amelanistic animals. This one was labeled "albino" as well, but is obviously a form of hypomelanism. I have yet to see one with zero dark pigment and bright pink/red pupils.
