Thalassarche carteri (Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross)

Synonyms: Thalassarche bassi; Thalassarche chlororhynchos carteri

Wikipedia Abstract

The Indian yellow-nosed albatross (Thalassarche carteri) is a member of the albatross family, and is the smallest of the mollymawks. In 2004, BirdLife International split this species from the Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross; however Clements has not split it yet, and the SACC has not either, but recognises the need for a proposal.
