Abstract:We present an aberrant coloured individual of Southern crested caracara (Caracara plancus) from Brazil. The individual has predominantly white plumage with a few dark grey feathers on the body; the legs and face are yellow and the eyes are melanic. The individual was observed in the municipality of Nossa Senhora Aparecida, state of Sergipe, northeastern Brazil. The animal presented signs of sun burn and currently is hosted in the Parque dos Falcões, Sergipe, Brazil.
