Hi All,
I'm working at my photos now again, find encosed some nearly directly from
below to get the shape of the white belly patch.

Btw. most of the photos you said to be Neils should be mine, Neil
unfortunately wasn't able to visit the Frigatebird himself :)

I'm going to have an extra collection of the Frigatebird photos ready for
you in my dropbox the next days.
I'll let you know.

All the best
Friedemann
