The Indian yellow-nosed albatross (Thalassarche carteri) is a member of the albatross family, and is the smallest of the mollymawks. In 2004, BirdLife International[2] split this species from the Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross; however Clements[3] has not split it yet, and the SACC has not either, but recognises the need for a proposal.[4]
