(not an actual Cracticus hypoleuca)

Saw a rather stunning male magpie in Turner / O'Connor on the way home this evening with an entirely white back from its nape all the way to its tail.

I don't know if I was put off by the whiteness but it looked a little slender

Unfortunately was driving so I didn't get a photo but if it's non-nomadic then I'll keep an eye out for it.

Spotted it opposite Macleay Street.

Here's a photo of one with similar plumage:
