Wow. Thanks for that. And by an unknown artist. Wonder who bought it?

Did you see this bit of info in the lot description?

The present drawing is unusual, however, in the lightness of the plumage. It has some similarities to the colouring of the bird shown in a watercolour by Pieter Holsteyn (Teylers Museum, Haarlem), dating from the 1630s. Traditionally called the White Dodo of Réunion, the bird in the Teylers drawing is now thought to show an albino specimen (Fuller, op. cit., p. 170), which may also be the case in the present drawing.

An albino dodo. Even cooler.

Or who knows it could just be a "blond" dodo.
