I got a peculiar chick, maybe albino

I’ve had a couple of oddities, particularly from my German pastel batch. They started out pretty much like yours looks in the picture, white with transparent pins, but wound up being very light (dilute?) pastel tuxes. I knew they weren’t albino, they didn’t have even a hint of pink to the eyes. The one has a mantle in a very light silvery color, and a couple of tiny spots on its head, and the other wound up being almost a wheat color on its back and head. Both females which made me happy of course. Lol.
 
I looked at that patch in the wing, it’s just pins looking filled with blood, yesterday he didn’t have the dark areas. I’m on the fence with the eyes, like I said, sometimes I see it running and I’m like, they’re definitely red, but I pick it up and can’t tell. As the snow angels got older and their eyes got bigger it was easier to see, so I’ll be watching as it grows.
You can tell an albino. Yours has a lot of yellow. Here are a couple of pictures of albinos that I've hatched. You can see how pale they are, and in the first picture you can clearly see the red eyes. Albinos are often blind from hatch or lose their sight shortly after.

And their behavior is just odd... The yellow chick in the video had serious problems with her vision due to being born with red eyes. Her vision got so much better over time. Yours looks like a cute normal chick.
