Observation details
***mega; juvenile; circled boat for long period with many great photos, including upperwing shots showing dark primary coverts and lack of white tips to primaries below. Prominent dark mask. Flight style like Amazona parrot (as pointed out by Tom Johnson) and unlike the somewhat deeper flaps of White-tailed. Great shots by Tom Johnson: Rather poor shots by Marshall Iliff still show key field marks (dark primary coverts, lack of pale tips to primaries, thick bill):
