Polynesian storm petrel
The Polynesian storm petrel ("Nesofregetta fuliginosa") is a species of seabird in the family Oceanitidae. It is placed in the monotypic genus Nesofregetta.
Markedly polymorphic, several subspecies were described, and light birds were even considered a species on their own (white-throated storm-petrel). Not even subspecies are generally accepted today, however.
It is found in Chile, French Polynesia, Kiribati, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, possibly American Samoa, possibly Fiji, and possibly Samoa.
