In lutinos all melanin (grey or brown coloration) is absent from lutino cockatiels' plumage, resulting in a white bird with the usual yellow face and orange cheek patch. Their eyes are red, and their beaks and feet are pink. The red eyes of the lutino can distinguish it from a "clear pied" (a pied bird that has no grey markings), which would have dark eyes.
