Blue-footed Booby

Blue-footed Booby adults of both sexes have dark brown upperparts and predominantly white underparts, with a pale head and neck finely streaked in brown. The long, pointed wings and wedge-shaped tail are brown, while the breast and belly remain largely unmarked white. The defining blue feet are bare skin rather than plumage, contrasting with the subdued feathers and grayish, pointed bill.
