Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti), family Spheniscidae (penguins)
They have spines on their tongues, as well as in their mouths, used to hold prey and prevent it from escaping.
Young Humboldt penguins have less distinct markings, lacking the breast band of adults (see pink-banded penguin in last picture).

“I’ve learned a lot this year. I learned that things don’t always turn our the way you planned, or the way you think they should. And I’ve learned that there are things that go wrong that don’t always get fixed or get put back together the way they were before. I’ve learned that some broken things stay broken, and I’ve learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you”
— Jennifer Weiner
