Observation details
Continuing adult on the inland beach with many ring-bills. Adult in full breeding plumage, noticeably smaller than Ring-billed, darker backed, full black hood, very bold white eye arcs, small red bill, dark reddish legs. At rest, prominent white on primary tips and tertial crescent. In flight, dark tips to outer primaries offset by substantial white subterminal markings. This individual shows extensive black on tip of P9 and P10, and white tips with smaller black subterminal spots on P8 and P7. The bird was frequently disturbed by beach goers, but always just relocated on the beach nearby. Under observation for about 30 minutes and was present when I left.
