Steve, it looks like a Common Tern to me,
and the wing moult says "northern hemisphere". Nice pic. All the
Commons look much like this at the moment, and the slenderness is just
positioning in my opinion.

Hello. Are there any tern experts out there who would be kind enough to
check a tern I photographed at Bribie Island the other day? The size is
right for Common Tern but the bird looks too slender and seems to have a
longer neck and bill than CT's I have photographed in the past. I am not
familiar with Roseate but I would expect them to be paler than this bird.
Any comments would be appreciated.
