Observation details
Adult alternate plumaged bird found present in the tern flock at the inlet. Black upperside and white underside striking; no white flecks in neck or in cap as in adult basic. White in outer tail feathers much reduced in comparison with Bridled Tern, and nape of neck black. Restless behavior, settling down and immediately taking off, and flying around in wide circles. It was already doing that when we were still quite far away, and we were lucky to get photos because the bird took off to sea as we got closer. First record of this species for eBird Honduras.
