Sparrow ID?

Chadds Ford, PA(Zone 6b)

It keeps coming to my feeder along with white throat sparrows. Is it an albino?

Nice catch! Not a true albino...but a (luecistic) White-throated Sparrow.

Thank you for the information. I was not aware of leucism. Glad to learn something!
The beak is definitively light pink, I will try to note the eye color next time it comes around.
