White-breasted cormorant

The white-breasted cormorant (''Phalacrocorax lucidus'') is much like the widespread great cormorant and if not a regional variant of the same species, is at least very closely related. It is distinguished from other forms of the great cormorant by its white breast and by the fact that subpopulations are freshwater birds.〔J.A. Harrison, D.G. Allan, L.G. Underhill, M. Herremans, A.J. Tree, V. Parker, C.J. Brown (eds). The Atlas of Southern African Birds. Published by BirdLife South Africa, P.O. Box 84394, Greenside 2034, Johannesburg, South Africa 1997 ISBN 0 620 20729 9〕 ''Phalacrocorax lucidus'' is not to be confused with the smaller and very different endemic South Australian black-faced cormorant, which also is sometimes called the white-breasted cormorant.
==Taxonomy and description==

The white-breasted cormorant (''Phalacrocorax lucidus'') is a member of the cormorant family Phalacrocoracidae. Its taxonomic status has been under discussion for some decades〔Brooke RK, Cooper J, Shelton PA, Crawford RJM. Taxonomy, distribution, population size, breeding & conservation of the Whitebreasted Cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo, on the Southern African coast. Gerfaut 72, pp 188–220 1982.〕 and several questions still have not been definitively settled. ''Phalacrocorax lucidus'' sometimes is treated as a subspecies of the great cormorant, ''Phalacrocorax carbo lucidus'', but some authorities (e.g. Sibley & Monroe, 1990, Sinclair, Hockey and Tarboton, 2002) retain its original treatment as an allospecies in the ''P. carbo'' superspecific group, in which case it is referred to as ''Phalacrocorax lucidus''. A black-necked form originally classified as ''Phalacrocorax patricki'' or ''Phalacrocorax carbo patricki'' is now regarded as synonymous with ''Phalacrocorax lucidus''.
As its name suggests, the 80–100 cm long white-breasted cormorant has a white neck and breast when adult, and the white area tends to increase as the bird becomes more mature. In other respects it is a large cormorant generally resembling the great cormorant.
The smaller and very different southern Australian black-faced cormorant, ''Phalacrocorax fuscescens'', is also sometimes known as the white-breasted cormorant.
