Eudyptula
The genus Eudyptula ("good little diver") contains one species of penguin.
Eudyptula minor is commonly known as the Little Penguin, Little Blue Penguin, or Fairy Penguin. In the language of the Maori people of New Zealand, Little Blue Penguins are known as "korora."
Some scientists consider a white-flippered version of the Little Blue Penguin to be a separate species, but some would consider it a sub-species; others think the characteristic falls within the bounds of normal local variation.
