Leucistic moorhen - is this common?

Leucistic moorhen - is this common?

This is one of our local juvenile moorhens. I believe that the light patches are leucism? I've lived on the canal for 7 years and see a lot of it in our local jackdaws but never in a moorhen, is it particularly uncommon? It's obviously not mega common as I've never noticed it before, but wondering if it's one of those things that I have seen before and just not noticed consciously.
