yep.. piebald

I heard piebalds were a sign of inbreeding and usually have a deformity whereas an albino is just a recessive gene. we sure had a ton of piebalds running around camano island about fifteen years ago and then the deer population crashed.

I saw them also on Camano, and last year I saw two fawns and a mother who all three were piebalds just south of kayak point near tulare beach.
