Snares crested penguin  (Eudyptes robustus)

This medium-sized species has the immediately recogniseable pattern of most penguins of snowy-white underparts and dark blue-black upperparts, head and throat. The Snares crested penguin's most noticeable feature is a bright yellow, thin, bushy crest running above and behind each eye (3). The red-brown bill is very robust, particularly in the male, and the conspicuous bare pink skin at its base helps distinguish the Snares from the similar Fiordland penguin (E. pachyrhynchus) (4).
