Leucistic Sparrow possibility

Spotted in our back garden with some more common sparrows. Is this, as suspected, a leucistic variety?

Hi David...sorry I am not an expert but as you say it was with sparrows then most likely it is a leucistic one...you can report your siting and the photo to the BTO for confirmation .
Hopefully the link below shall work...if not just put BTO leucism into your search engine and you will soon find it.
