Observation details
1) Large, pale-mantled adult with sparsely marked head and neck and black wing tips with neat white primary tips. 2) Bird in photos, below. Structure, foot color, and head pattern seemed wrong for lesser black-backed, but that impression may well have been influenced by the bizarrely worn state of the plumage. Most closely resembled my mental "search image" of an adult slaty-backed, but I never saw the wing spread, and on my return an hour later, couldn't find this bird again.
