No. Both those morphs are recessive morphs, so they have to be matched up with the right mate to create the visible morph. Pied to pied (or het pied to het pied) for instance, to get pieds...albino (or het) to albino (or het) to get albinos.

It gets a little more complicated trying to get an albino-pied.
