Reason I went for Little Auk, as opposed to Guillie/Razor, was (1) the legs are very thin, much slenderer compared to body size than on Guillie/Razor, and (2) the white streaks on the tertials (just visible); Little Auk has these, the other Atlantic auks don't.

The legs on Razorbill and Guillemot are set further back and appear alnost level with the tail.
