Kerguelen Petrel
The Kerguelen Petrel Lugensa brevirostris is a small (36 cm) slate grey seabird in the family Procellariidae. The species has been described as a "taxanomic oddball", being placed for a long time in Pterodroma (the gadfly petrels) before being split out in 1942 into its own genus Lugensa.
