Petrels and Shearwaters (Procellariidae)
Flesh-footed Shearwater (Puffinus carneipes) - HBW 1, p. 253
French: Puffin à pieds pâles
German: Blaßfuß Sturmtaucher
Spanish: Pardela Paticlara
Other common names: Pale footed Shearwater
Taxonomy: Puffinus carneipes Gould, 1844, small islands off Cape Leeuwin, Western Australia.
Sometimes considered conspecific with P. creatopus; these two may form superspecies with P. gravis. Birds from Lord Howe I and New Zealand may merit separation in race hullianus, on grounds of different migratory routes and slight size differences. Monotypic.
Distribution: St Paul I (S Indian Ocean) and SW Australia, with single isolated colony in South Australia; Lord Howe I (off E Australia) and North I (New Zealand).
