Despite the difference in the portion of white displayed, both the Douglas' Squirrel and Dark-eyed Junco in these images, taken in our yard, are leucistic.

Not albino, because, e.g., their eyes are not affected.
The internet tells me its a partial or total loss of pigmentation.
I've seen a number of leucistic birds, but only ever this one leucistic squirrel (whom we call Snowflake:).

That's interesting to see 2 variants in the same spot. They must love your place...
