Abstract

<p>A white Adélie Penguin Pygoscelis adeliae was sighted in offshore waters of East Antarctica at 65°56′S, 80°39′E on 20 February 2013. This individual had the same morphological characteristics and body size of normal Adélie Penguins, but had entirely white plumage, eyes paler than normal, a brownish to purplish red bill, pale pink legs and feet, and an absence of black coloration on the body. This individual was classified as a possible ‘ino-light’ according the color aberration types defined by van Grouw (2013).</p>
