White peafowl are a color variety of the India Blue Peacock. They are considered leucistic, a condition that affects the birds' feathers and turns them pale or white. Leucism differs from albinism in that this variety of peafowl has blue-tinted eyes and lacks normal pigmentation, rather than no pigmentation in the eyes or feathers.

While it is believed that White Peafowl do occur naturally, they are not common in the wild.
