I have encountered one something like that about
5 years ago, at Batemans Bay (SE NSW). As well as reduced melanin, although I
don't recall that it was white on top, the pink was different too. The normally
pink parts were a quite pretty apricot colour. I really can't explain that.

Unusual Galah
Hi All,
Sunday morning (7/12/03)
about 9am there was a group of about 20 Galahs feeding on the south side of
the Midland Highway about 5km East of Shepparton, Victoria. Included in the
group was a Galah with white wings and tail and all parts that are normally
grey - it had no grey at all. Its white cap was also a bit whiter
(cleaner?) than the others but the pink appeared to be the same colour and
amount.
I was there again this morning but saw no
Galahs.
