Is this a dolphin? Which kind? I seen it off the coast of Northern Ireland on Wednesday 3rd May 2017, near Torr Head. Sorry about the poor quality photo - I've inset a closeup into the photo.

Many thanks,
Keith.

I'd think Risso's, but I'm sure those with more experience will be able to give a more accurate answer.

Cheers
