Juvenile with unmarked belly

Post by little-W » Sat Aug 06, 2011 5:42 pm

I came across this juvenile LBBG today (Leiden, The Netherlands) with no markings on the belly and a sharp demarcation with the markings on the breast.
Does anyone have similar examples? Could it be a form of leucism? Its brother/sister had regular markings on the belly.
