The black noddy or white-capped noddy (Anous minutus) is a seabird from the family Laridae . It is a medium-sized bird with black plumage and a white cap. It closely resembles the lesser noddy (Anous tenuirostris) with which it was at one time considered conspecific. The black noddy has slightly darker plumage and dark rather than pale lores.
