frigatebird id

(...places head on chopping block)
 
I think so Gary. 
 
Elliptical white belly patch (note concave white where it meets the breast 
band) and reduced, squarish spurs emanating from the centre (not front) of the 
belly patch.

All of the frigatebird discussion recently reminded me of a frigatebird I 
photographed at Cooktown when I was in Australia in 2006. I tentatively 
identified it as a Great Frigatebird. I'm not looking at my Aus references at 
the moment by I seem to recall that those white "wing-spurs" that have been 
much discussed here recently, played a part in my id. Did I get it right?
