Gull or Tern ID - Port Aransas, Tx. (3 Viewers)

While out birding today, I took a number of pics, including some birds in flight that came by. When looking back at the pictures, I wasnn't sure about this bird. Need you to shed some light for me, please. Large black beak and black legs, but overall very pale coloration. Doesn't look like a Laughing Gull or a Gull-billed Tern but I'm uncertain with my knowledge what it is.

Thanks for any feedback.

You have your id, just wanted to say very nice flight shots. White birds against that color sky is hard to get.
