Yeah, it could even be a form of "extreme" hypomelanism as in Honduran and a couple other types. Another thing to consider is the possibility of it being a tyrosinase positive albino. With us knowing zero about it's genetic background, it's impossible to say with absolute certainty, as they both look virtually identical to the eye and without doing test breeding, or a "dopa" test done in a laboratory for the presence of a protein pre-cursor for melanin to be synthesized properly(tyrosinase), I'm leaning more toward it being a very reduced case of hypomelanism, since at least those are known to be produced today in limited quantity.
We look forward to some more quality shots of your bairds!
