Observation details
Culmen appears strongly decurved and there is no obvious gonydeal (hard to tell from the picture, but I would expect to see at least something if it were Gull-billed). Rogers et al. state that any Asian migrant with a complete black cap (as this bird) can only be seen in Australia from March to the start of May. The location of this sighting is certainly near enough to Australia to suggest that a bird in breeding plumage *should* only be S. n. macrotarsa at time of year.
