Default Albino mealies?

When I was feeding the beardies today I gave them some mealies. I found a mealie in the tub which looked albino to me. It was a pale yellow colour, not as dark colouration as normal mealies. Would it be an albino?

That would be one that had just shed its skin, they darken again in a few minutes.

Yes, and because they've shed, they're softer too as the "new" skin hasn't hardened as much yet.
