Classification: Genus Ardenna (Ardenna); Family Shearwaters and petrels (Procellariidae)General:
The pink-footed shearwater (Ardenna creatopus) is a species of seabird. The bird is 48 cm in length, with a 109-cm wingspan. It is polymorphic, having both darker- and lighter-phase populations. Together with the equally light-billed flesh-footed shearwater, it forms the Hemipuffinus group, a superspecies that may or may not have an Atlantic relative in the great shearwater.[2][3] These are large shearwaters which are among those that could be separated in the genus Ardenna.[4]
