Some crows can be completely white.
Here is an example of a nearly completely white young American Crow photographed by Maxine and Jim Harwood of Piedmont, Ohio, June 1998. It was a recently fledged youngster. The Harwoods report seeing two white crows the next day, probably this one and a sibling.
Notice on the one picture that the back is not completely dark. Also, despite the red from the flash, the iris was not pink, but was normally pigmented with blue-gray.
Another white crow picture sent me recently by Burr Cornell of Endicott, NY was of a bird seen in Vestal, New York on 25 October 1998. It shows black in the face and in the wings.
