That was my first thought, but I don't think so for two reasons.

1) There's a sharp cutoff (along pattern lines, not at a specific height) between the parts that have a lot of yellow and the parts that do not.
2) Parts of the pattern that would have the brightest yellow/orange on an albino are white on this specimen while parts that would have lighter yellow still show up.

I've seen a few sun-bleached burms like you describe, this looks different to me. But I certainly could be wrong. It's happened once or twice before...
