Okay ... So where's the black brow?
Oh! They mean _eyebrow_, not forehead brow.
Yeah, "ophrys" means eyebrow: if it was "brow/brow," I think it would be "metopon," like Bolpometopon (the humphead parrotfish)

Thanks. Speaking of brows, this reminds me of a Carol Burnett/Harvey Corman skit on the old Carol Burnett show. Carol and Harvey are sitting at a table (they've been thrown together for a "date"). Makeup has given Carol buck teeth and a unibrow. Harvey stutters, "H-Have you always had one eyebrow?" Carol replies, "Oh no! I plucked the other one out!"

Looks a lot like the Laysan albatross, or “Gooney bird” on Midway Island, Hawaii, and the Northern Pacific.

I am tickled by his scientific name, "thalassarche". Seamaster indeed.
