). The color of the beak often continues backward a few cm posterior to the base of the melon. The dorsum, flanks, and the remainder of the melon are dark gray, whereas the dorsal fin, flippers, and fluke are generally dark gray except for a white or light gray saddle behind the dorsal fin and the occurrence of light patches on the anterior leading edges of fin and flippers in adults. A light patch surrounds the eye, with a darker section immediately around the eye. The dark gray areas of the dorsum and flanks are overlaid by a lighter gray blaze starting near the anal region and extending dorso-anteriorly along the peduncle and flank to the level of the flippers. Another light gray area on the anterior (thoracic) flank lies between the flipper and the flank patch. The belly is entirely light gray-to-white with a narrow white medial band from the flippers to the genital slit (
