This article is about the subspecies of albatross that breeds in the Auckland and Antipodes islands. For the species that breeds in the Indian Ocean, see shy albatross.
The white-capped albatross (Thalassarche cauta steadi) is a mollymawk that breeds on the islands off of New Zealand. Not all experts agree that this form should be recognized as a separate species from the shy albatross, Thalassarche cauta. It is a medium-sized black, slate gray, and white albatross and is the largest of the mollymawks.[citation needed]
