That's a Guillemot.
In Britain Guillemot is the name for Common Murre. So you actually think it's the same species that I do.

Blimey, that got a bit heated! My policy is to take note of where the OP is based and where the bird in question was seen. If an American posted the same picture I'd have said the bird was a Common Murre. Bilingualism is a useful skill sometimes on BF!
