@Sunray spotted this guy while I was driving and got me to slam on the brakes and reverse!

Yes @Csteele4, Leucistic RNW. I based the ID on ear colour, muzzle shape and colour, sense of a different fur colour on the rump (reddish in a normal RNW) and overall size.

@DonFletcher thank you! I am hopeless with wallabies without colours to go by!
