Particle size and surface texture affect reflectivity as well as albedo. We can't separate those factors yet and say the albedo is different.
Electrostatic effects might move dust while leaving coarser material, allowing it to slide downhill on its own. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

How long ago might such a landslide/deposit have taken place? A billion years? Only when the crater formed? Or perhaps more recent?
