Tanzanians need help with Frigatebird id

[Stephen Murray <>]

Hello Steve. Juvenile/immature Frigatebirds are notoriously difficult to
separate, but the white around the armpits leading into the wings suggests
Lesser Frigatebird to me. I think Ascension Frigatebird would be well out of
range. According to Pizzey and Knight, Juvenile Great Frigatebirds are  "not
safely separated" from other Frigatebirds.
Cheers Steve Murray

G'day all


My friends on the Tanzanian equivalent of birding-aus are currently
wrestling with the identification of a frigatebird that has been frequenting
some of the nicer beach-side suburbs of Dar es Salaam.  They have asked me
to post some photos on birding-aus for the Australian experts to examine.

So there are four photos here:

I'll pass on any opinions that emerge.

Cheers
Steve
