Yes, it does look cleaner and fluffier than your basic run-of-the-mill pelican.

Yeah, but I like them.

We may have a "What did you think I said?" situation here. I didn't mean to disparage pelicans generally, just agreeing that the one you posted is exceptionally spiffy.

It's called a slight, ("run of the mill pelican") a backhanded compliment. I know what they look like, but if you say you didn't mean it as such, I accept your apology. Have a great day!
