I saw a white pigeon with tan, is it an albino?

I saw a mostly white pigeon yesterday, with some tan feathers. Eyes weren't pink, they were amber. Was it an albino, or escaped domestic breed? How rare are albino pigeons?

Update:

No, I was very close, almost touched it. It was a pigeon. I Think it's eye were amber--the sun was a bit low.

No, not all albinos have pink eyes. Albino Ball Pythons don't. They are white with light tan markings and light amber eyes

Update 2:

Pripofessor: : I don'y t know what you are talking about. I just know I asked YA suggestion biox , they say they havve never heard of you, they say you are misrepresenting yourself as an offuicial.And only an official can monitor, they don'ty have avartars.

    It would not be an Albino Pigeon, there are very few about, what you saw would be a White Pigeon with a color variant.

    Even feral pigeons can be white the are domestics gone wild.

    All Albino's Birds or Animals have Pink Eyes

    Albinos are all white, with pink eyes. What you saw was a cross-breed of a standard white pigeon with another colour group.

    Are you sure it wasn't a smaller sea gull. They are all white with some tan on them and from a distance they even look like a pigeon.
