A less than 2 foot penguin with brush tail, black back and wings with black feathers extending along the neck to a cap. A single chinstrap wraps around from about the ear to the chin with a black beak and dark orange/brown eyes just above. It is walking along a pebble beach and is carrying one pebble less than an inch in its beak headed uphill to the rookery where it probably has a pebble nest.
