Correct answer: Macaroni penguin

The Macaroni penguin got its name from British sailors who noticed its striking orange-yellow head crest. In the 18th century, a young man who wore flashy, continental fashions was called a "macaroni" (as in the song "Yankee Doodle" sticking a feather in his cap). They are actually the most numerous of all penguin species. Photo: Godot13, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0.
