I heard they're often spotted in pretty large flocks!:nod: This one's alone, so maybe

Dalmatians Have Spots, so that person got it wrong for a start, reckon it a kin to This One (https://minepuppy.com/breed/australian-cattle/ )
Or perhaps it flew over the Ocean and it's a New Zealand Pied Dappled Magpie, you never know do Ya.
Then again it could be a Melanistic and Albino Bird in one package, if that is possible as I don't know a lot about that kind of thing Nature does.
