Non-breeding adult pale morph Arctic Jaegerin my opinion. Told by overall 
slender jizz (as opposed to skua-like heavy-chested appearance of Pom), the 
slender, uniformly colored bill (as opposed to thick and bicolored in Pom), the 
very worn plumage (ad) and finally the overall coloration (non-breeding pale 
morph).


Cheers,

Nikolas

Hi there,

Looks like a Pomarine Jaeger to me, plumage and size......but, size can be so 
subjective. Anyone?
Cheers
