Albino Penguin or Chick or other?

    Towards the upper right corner of this photo there is what appears to be an albino penguin is this correct? It could also be a really young chick or perhaps a different type of bird.

    I see only normal Gentoo penguins. The lighting is very poor in this image, so perhaps what you see is a trick of the light? I'll look at other photographs in this series, but for now that's my thought. 😃 It's always good to look closely, so thanks for doing just that.

    Here's the same view a little later in the day, with better lighting. Do you still see something you think is not a Gentoo? Later that day...(Click here!)

    I think that @kmac19 could be talking about that penguin which head is bent behind the white front of its own body.. ?
