this is a unique case of albinism or Leucism (whichever is appropriate) among animal kingdom. coucals in the Philippines usually derive pigmentation from brown to black colors, thus absolving this one from norm

Great shot! You can add this to the Rare Color Morphs mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7970...
Very cool looking bird. And you did a wonderful job of camera tracking with a shutter slow enough to show motion in the background. Great find and camera work!
Great shots. I did not know that such pigmentation occurs in Coucals. Thanks for sharing this amazing information with us.
