A couple months ago Chuck Philo picked up a bird that looked exactly like this
one. We studied it in hand for a while before deciding it was a Rhinoceros
Auklet.

I am inclined to agree with Max. It looks like there is a lot of skeletal
exposure or severely matted feathering at the base of the bill. This causes the
bill to look longer than it would on a live bird. Otherwise the plumage pattern
and bill color and structure are just right for Rhinoceros Auklet.
