Is this a White Crow?

Sorry for the question without notice as they say in Parliament but, We went to the Deception Bay Shopping Centre today and as I got out of the car I thought that I saw a White Crow, While Sally Shopped I got these snaps. Is it a Juvenile, I haven't seen a White Crow in the sixty years of my life?

Hi Ron,
Great shot! I did some searching about White Crows and found this place. You might want to take a look at it. Maybe it will answer your question.

And Wikipedia has an article about crows. If you keep scrolling down it mentions white crows.

Hope this helps. Have a great day!

How unusual. Great eye to catch the crow in flight. I'll look at Sherrie's offerings. Your crow show up a light gray on my screen.

Most unusual bird! I didn't know such a thing as a white crow existed. (You sure you didn't get mixed up, and that it's really a black crow on a negative?????)

A gorgeous shot with those birds beautifully silhouetted against that wonderful, blue sky! I've never heard of a white crow before but my first inclination was that perhaps it was an albino. They're very rare in nature but they do occur.

Hey Ron, just when you thought it was safe, I'm back...! At first I was skeptical, but perhaps it is a white crow... either that or you did something that scared it's feathers white. Good eye - you're really paying attention to your surroundings.
