Hello! Just found this forum, and I'm so happy I did!

Could this be a leucistic crow? It seemed to be a fledgling. Tail feathers were just coming in I believe. Two crows were very nearby and quite vocal. I wish I had a translator to know what they were saying - were they parents or predators.

Sorry for my unsteady hand on the video (link). New video by D Per

Yes, it a crow with some white feathers. I think American Crow, rather than Fish Crow, assuming it is the same species as the calling birds in the video, but it has been a long time since I have had to distinguish the two.

Definitely American crows squawking in the background.

...which will be familiar to European birders as being the feeble crow-call that's widely (mis)used in the soundtrack of many European films 👎🏼

Looks like there's some residual gape flange showing - might be a fledgling. So, the calling birds may be the parents. Just a thought on ID possibility. (How's that for definitive? 😉 )
