400mm            ƒ/5.6            1/400s            ISO 800
Other names: white-throated shag, little pied shag, little cormorant, kawau paka, little pied cormorant
The most variable plumage of any New Zealand shag.
However it's short-billed and long-tailed silhouette, along with its small size and stubby yellow bill is sufficient to identify it.
