This bird was spotted 200km inland from the nearest coast in southern West Bengal, India, flying south towards the Bay of Bengal, after a super-cyclone caused havoc in May 2020. The observer logged this bird as Christmas Island Frigatebird in eBird but I was wondering why can't this be a juvenile Lesser Frigatebird, which is more probable in this region. Any thoughts?
