Description:
With a demarcation line separating it from the little melon, the beak is clearly defined. The blowhole is a little hump that protrudes from the forehead. With a gradual rise to a falcate fin, the dorsal fin gives the impression that the edges of the flippers are rounded. The tips of the narrow, well-developed flukes are pointy, and there is a little midline notch. These dolphins have a ventral region that is pink and an ivory coloration. The flukes and fins have a pinkish-brown coloration.
