Observation details
Single juvenile bird flew near the boat several times, sometimes coming straight at us, sometimes paralleling or circling us. It stayed nearby for about 2 minutes then flew off. Very dark bill, gray-brown head and paler, off-white breast and belly. Lighter underwing, with dark trailing edges. A paler collar and hint of pale upper mantle were visible, leading me to believe this a red-footed booby juvenile, not brown booby juvenile, which was also a consideration.
