The pigmentary abnormality with the greatest prevalence among birds is progressive greying, although it is often confused with leucism and albinism. Here we report the first case of progressive greying for the groove-billed ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris) based on an individual observed in Costa Rica. This individual had white feathers in various parts of the body, while the rest of the body maintained its black feathers.
