The Little Pied Cormorant, Little Shag or Kawaupaka (Phalacrocorax melanoleucos) is a common Australasian waterbird, found around the coasts, islands, estuaries, and inland waters of Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, and around the islands of the south-western Pacific and the sub-Antarctic.

| One of Australia’s most common water birds, the little pied cormorant (Phalacrocorax melanoleucos) is a relatively small, squat species, and is the only long-tailed cormorant of its size to have pied plumage. Entirely black above and white below, the little pied cormorant has a dusky face, with the white of the underparts extending to above the eye in adult birds. The white parts of the birds are often stained reddish or orange-brown. |
