Bug summary

When plotting non-filled markers with markerfacecolor="None" along with alpha=non-zero the marker face color becomes black for the png format. Same happens when using plt.show().

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.errorbar([1], [1], markerfacecolor = "None",
        marker = 'o', alpha = 0.9, markersize=100)

plt.savefig('test.png')
plt.savefig('test.pdf')

Actual outcome
