    I'm not 100% sure but I think white peacocks are not a seperate specie, so in this case it looks like it has been identified as a butterfly that shares the same name :) Posted 12 years ago

        White Peafowl The White Peafowl is not a seperate specie, instead it is a result of selective breeding. The result is a so-called Leucism, a condition of reduced pigmentation. BestZOO,Geotagged,Indian Peacock,Leucism,Pavo cristatus,The Netherlands
