[obol] PHOTOS: Albino Western Sandpiper

[pamela johnston]

Noticing that while the feathers are white and the legs, especially visible 
in the albino peep02.jpg, are pink, the bill is still dark. What gives the 
bill its color?

I have placed photos of the white-rumped sandpiper at:

I really don't see anything glaringly un-Western Sandpiperish
about this guy (except may that it's all white).
