More like a crow with the genetic disorder leucism which reduces pigmentation. Ravens have ticker beaks, fluffy neck feathers and a diamond shaped tail rather than a flat one.

It’s a stunning bird
do you know if it’s vision is marred by the condition as with albinism?

I saw what I think is an albino crow the other daypic.twitter.com/KL9YNyG1D9

With its long tail features, I believe that's an equally rare albino magpie :>
-
Leucistic rather than albino (not missing all pigment, just some), but yes, magpie!
-
I never knew about leucism before, thank you for adding your comment! :> I'm curious to learn what all sets that characteristic apart from albinism in animals~

You're very welcome
The gist is that leucism causes a reduction of pigmentation, while albinism is a complete absence of it. Leucism is variable - animals may have just a few white feathers or patches of fur (etc), or they may show paler versions of their normal coloration. -
Or they may be all white, as in the beautiful magpie above. The giveaway there is the eyes - leucustic animals have normally-colored eyes (the magpie's are brown), while in albinos they're the familiar red.
