what type of bird is scuttle in the new little mermaid

In the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, Scuttle is portrayed as a Northern gannet, a type of diving bird, instead of a seagull as in the original animation). The change was made so that Ariel could meet Scuttle underwater and get information about the surface from her, as Ariel has never been to the surface before. The Northern gannet is known for its ability to dive into the seas for fish, swimming more than 100 meters below the surface.
