"Tufted puffin The tufted puffin (""Fratercula cirrhata""), also known as crested puffin, is a relatively abundant medium-sized pelagic seabird in the auk family (Alcidae) found throughout the North Pacific Ocean. It is one of three species of puffin that make up the genus ""Fratercula"" and is easily recognizable by its thick red bill and yellow tufts. Tufted puffins are around in length with a similar wingspan and weigh about three quarters of a kilogram (1.6 lbs). Birds from the western Pacific population are somewhat larger than those from the eastern Pacific, and male birds tend to be slightly larger than"

Since it may be more closely related to the rhinoceros auklet than the other puffins, it is sometimes placed in the monotypic genus Lunda. The juveniles, due to their similarity to ""C. monocerata"", were initially mistaken for a distinct species of a monotypic genus, and named Sagmatorrhina lathami (""Latham's saddle-billed auk"", from ""sagmata"" ""saddle"" and ""rhina"" ""nose"").

The specific ""interpres"" means ""messenger""; when visiting Gotland in 1741, Linnaeus thought that the Swedish word ""Tolk"" ""interpreter"" applied to this species, but in the local dialect the word means ""legs"" and is used for the redshank.
