Galápagos Petrel
Pterodroma phaeopygia
The Galápagos petrel (Pterodroma phaeopygia) is a large, long-winged gadfly petrel. The species was once known as the dark-rumped petrel, although recent taxonomic changes have eliminated that name from current use. (See also Hawaiian petrel, from which this species was split.) The local people in the Galápagos Islands often call this species the "patapegada".
