Observation details

Swimming in lake next to noticeably larger ringed-billed gull. Tail black, brown barring on white under tail. Wings (primary and secondary feathers darker brown with white markings. Consistent lighter brown neck, chin and nape. Darker brown on top of head to give it a capped look. Bill two-toned - gray near base with black towards end. Dark eye. Very tame. Allowed us to get close enough to get iPhone picture through binocular lens. (reason for poor quality picture). Best guess - Long-tailed jaeger but hoping others help me identify.
