Morgan 9 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Sorry - best shot I have. Many thoughts? common? sandwich? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiley 1,152 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) It's not a Least based on size/structure. This is tough. It's probably a backlit Common but I can kind of see why you thought of Sandwich. Any other photos, even poor may help. Edited September 14, 2019 by akiley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Creeker 190 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Looks like Common to me too, with those grayish undersides. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan 9 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Here’s two other photos. Not sure they help... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan 9 Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Bump. Don’t suppose the additional pics help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Leukering 2,279 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It has too much black on the crown for September to be anything in the southern tern clan (Forster's. Royal, Sandwich). The under-wing pattern is perfect for Common. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan 9 Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Ok. Thx! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Leukering 2,279 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Oops, I meant upper-wing pattern -- dark outer primaries, pale inner ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
