The conclusion that this is albinism, of the Oca3/Tyrp1 type came from an expert in the color mutations field, and we agree it is a perfect fit. This form of albinism, often called rufous albinism doesn’t result in white/pink skin, but reduces blacks and shifts blacks towards brown, like this doe’s nose. It also leaves the eyes normal coloured and it also doesn’t result in fully white feathers or hair, but leaves the animal very susceptible to sun bleaching.
