The ancient murrelet (Synthliboramphus antiquus) is a bird in the auk family. The English term "murrelet" is a diminutive of "murre", a word of uncertain origins, but which may imitate the call of the common guillemot.[2][3] Ancient murrelets are called "ancient" because they have grey on the back like a shawl, as worn by the elderly.[4]
