Hi lesleylupo - don't worry because this bird is not injured. That red mark is another penguin's poop. When they eat krill (like shrimp) their poop changes from white to red. They have to poop when sitting on their eggs because the eggs must be kept warm. And if another penguin is in the way - they get covered!
One of our FAQ boards has more information and is interesting to read:
