Atlantic Puffins have a white underside,
very much like Horned P.
Many birders would immediately be alarmed
if a close-up photo of a flying Atlantic P.
- or a flying Kittiwake -
revealed Solid BLACK from the throat
downwards,
as it could/would be the World's first
specimen with such abnormality - or magic.
Many thanks, PETER and PALLE, I do believe
You are absolutely right (i.e. shadows?,
no hybrid).
If so, I'm happy that birders unfamiliar with
the Pacific avi-fauna may read Your comments
to this photo.

Tak til Peter og Palle for kommentarer der
indikerer, at det formentlig er en HORNED P.
der i Virkeligheden var Hvid nedenunder, som
andre Horned og Atlantic Puffins.
Det tror jeg også. Desværre/tyvärr.
