I take several albino snowshoe hares each year. They seem to be more common in the winter.

LOL, guy I know caught an albino muskrat in NY and had it mounted 50 or 60 years ago.
Gave it to me a decade ago.
After half a century of his 3 pack a day habit, it's yellow now.

I caught a white coon with a black mask and black tail rings the feet and nose were pinkish if I remember right that was about 40 years ago north of Knoxville IA. The coon was in a 220 about 5 miles further north I had a almost black Fisher coon in a watter set. I sold those 2 coon to Allen Gauph in Grimes IA. His son was a taxidermist I believe. He was a good buyer and an even better trapper he caught mountains of coon .

Shot a albino magpie a couple years ago. He didn't have pink eyes but kind of bluish grey colour. Was gonna get it stuffed but he was in pretty rough shape from the other magpies picking on him.

I found an albino raven in CA a few years ago. Never told anyone where it was because supposedly every indian in 500 miles would have to go bother it.

Shot an albino Eastern Chipmunk 3-4 years ago. Caught what I'd call an albino Bowfin once. Shot a piebald Grey Squirrel 5-6 years ago. Shot a piebald Ringneck Pheasant on 1979. Blew a chance at a piebald buck in 2015. We have another one here in the area this year.

When I was operating my ADC business one of my main sources of income was trapping ground moles. I dealt with 2 species Easterns which were much bigger, and Hairy Tails. Caught about 2,000 a year.
There was one subdivision I trapped that seemed to have a lot of genetic issues. I caught several piebold and tailess Eastern moles.
The neatest one from a yard there that all the moles seem to be tailess or piebold, was an albino one with pink eyes and feet. At first I planned on having it mounted. Then I decided to have it freeze dried.
It came out great and is light as a feather. It was cheap as well. Much cheaper than mounting. In fact it looks like it was mounted.
I bought a small plexiglass case that was made for displaying model cars to keep it in

Not an albino , no pink eyes or nose, but the whitest one I’ve ever seen.
