The Inca Tern is a seabird in the family Laridae. It is the only member of the genus "Larosterna". This uniquely-plumaged bird breeds on the coasts of Peru and Chile, and is restricted to the Humboldt current. It can be identified by its dark grey body, white moustache on the both sides of its head, and red-orange beak and feet.
