Yup, saw her peeking out the hangar the other day. Definitely white body with the black Star Alliance lettering, not sure if she's got the black tail as well or another albino type like the SQ 777.

Can definitely confirm that SZF has full Star Alliance colors. Screenshot from a video I was sent, but I don't know the original source - I suspect it might be an official Instagram video.
