Possible Eastern Rockhopper Penguin

As mentioned here, the individual in the center is one of the potential E. c. filholi. January 4, 2018.

Could be, but I wouldn't say anything firmer than that based on that photo. I have seen photos on Google from Fort Worth which look very much like filholi though.

@Chlidonias Personally I'd like to also see some information about where the individuals came from. The taxa seems to live on and around island chains that US zoos generally don't/can't import from so I'm interested to know *how* they got here.

Its not. To my knowledge all of Fort Worth's birds come from Seaworld, so its just a Southern. Probably a younger bird, hence the nice beak and smaller yellow tufts.

@Hyak_II Read the link. There are suspected birds at SeaWorld, too.

The bird pictured in the link is a macaroni penguin, so I don't really see where the correlation is coming from?....
