Description
Hi, I was surprised when I saw this one today while out. It's the first "white fly" I have ever seen in all my years of shooting wildlife photography!I looked through my Audubon guides, and this is an Albino.... pretty cool huh? It didn't hang around long, I only got 3 pics of it before it flew off to parts unknown.

My guide book has this fly as being black and yellow toned...not white...?

Well, the genus includes more than one species, and I'm guessing the Audubon can only include a select number. Here's a shot of one that's your color: bugguide.net/images/raw/A04/Q3…

That is pretty cool! I've never encountered an albino invertebrate either, but now I wish I would.
