That is probably a leucistic, not albino, squirrel. It appears to have dark eyes. (Though it is hard to say from the photo)
Where I live, a huge percentage of the squirrels are either leucistic or melanistic (essentially, black). Grey is just barely in the majority.

I hit a true albino squirrel with my Jeep a couple years ago in Bucks Co. PA (it ran out from the woods! I couldn't avoid it! Really!).
It's probably still in a freezer someplace.
