Huh, that's interesting.... are you sure it was an adult? I've never seen an adult tui with not much tuft.

I've seen definite adults completely lacking of tufts or any sign of one. I have encountered few tui with massive tufts, generally I find them worn and tatty, so I would call this an adult.

Philippa Stevenson in Tamahere just sent us this photo of a leucistic starling on her lawn. The normal white spots of a starling are just barely visible.

Would this be a leucistic House Sparrow ? Seen in Auckland. Thx Michele

Yes. Definitely not an escaped finch of any kind.
