Wow! looks like a tiny hen :)

It was pure white. Nothing on the wings. But it does look similar to those in your link. Thanks.

Does it have any coloration on the wings? I don't see any. Is it more pure white or an off white yellow? Check (although the body color may be off, it would help to know if it looks close) http://eol.org/pages/504652/media

White tiger looks spotted. Definitely not a micro. It was bigger.
