The red-billed tropicbird (Phaethon aethereus), also known as the boatswain bird is a tropicbird, one of three closely related seabirds of tropical oceans. The scientific name is derived from Ancient Greek phaethon, "sun" and Latin aetherius, "heavenly". The red-billed tropicbird occurs in the tropical Atlantic, eastern Pacific and Indian Oceans.
