[EBB Sightings] Leucistic Night-Heron at Lake Merritt?

On this morning's GGAS 4th-Wednesday walk, we saw a very strange bird: A 
light-colored Black-crowned Night-Heron. The bird had the long white 
plumes of an adult and none of the streaking of a juvenile, but the 
areas that should be black were a sort of dull medium brown, and the 
ones that should be gray had a few gray feathers and a lot of fawn ones.

The bird was perched on the area boxed with tall chain-link fencing on 
the Bellevue side of the bird paddock.

Seen anything like it?
