Blonde Eastern Gray Squirrel (leucistic)

My guess is that this Squirrel is leucistic. Leucism is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin. Leucistic animals have normal eye color, but a paler coat or plumage. Based on the color, I'm guessing this is a red squirrel and not a grey one.

is this a rare color? never seen one of these
