A very interesting magpie. (infosec.pub)

A somewhat large magpie sitting in the rain on a brown wood fence. Dark leaves from a tree sit behind the wet & shaggy bird.

Depending on where you are in the world, that's likelier to be a raven with a form of albinism (vitiligo?) than a magpie, IMHO.

It's missing the band on its beak, for instance, and the main part of the feathers ("rachi") is white, too.

I'm curious, that's for sure!

Hadn’t considered that! That’s as cool as the raven with Leucism I saw!

Aw, they're so regal in that mad dash to collect all the things! Like going thrifting right after a funeral, but just needing to get out of all that hot goth black first. 🤪
