Couldn't be sure they were absolutely all white, but they were certainly 
mostly white on the side I saw them from.  One I saw in the early 80's in 
Fawkner Park, in Melbourne.  The other I have no idea - possibly a figment 
of my imagination.  I found this photo of one:

so they do exist.  There are actually more photos of it if you click on the

Can anyone tell me how to pronounce "leucistic"?
