This is a Leucistic Red Kite (Milvus Milvus), a very rare bird, one of only ten currently known in the world. Leucistic red kites are defined as the complete or partial absence of eumelanin and pheomelanin in one or more feathers, but not in the eyes, bill or feet. This results in white patches in all or part of the plumage.
