the white and tan raccons are half albino and not true albino,... Adult weights vary with habitat and range and can range from 3-16 kg (6.6-35 lb) and measure 60-90 cm (24-36 in) along the body, minus the 25 cm/10 in tail. The smallest races are those found in Southern Florida, while those near the Northern limits of the raccoon's range tend to be the largest. The largest recorded raccoon was over 28 kg (61 lb), by far the largest size recorded for a family member of the Procyonidae. They have black facial colorings around the eyes, and have a bushy tail with light and dark alternating rings. The coat is a mixture of gray, brown, and black fur. On rare occasions, raccoons may be albino. Currently there is a search under way to validate sightings of half albino, possibly leucistic raccoons. These sightings have occurred in Indiana, specifically the West Lafayette region. The dark patches around the eyes, perhaps the raccoon's most prominent trait, are reminiscent of a "bandit's mask," which has enhanced its reputation for mischief, vandalism, and thievery.

It would be a leucistic animal. They are not true albinos but do have a preponderance of white
