Stunning.

(Could it be a Masked Booby though - no offence meant) Note the white collar and black feet!

Indeed...I think you're right. No offense at all - boobys aren't something I see in my area - only when on a boat far off shore, so I'm not as familiar with them. I have shot adult masked boobys too, and they looked very different to this one, so I had just assumed this must have been a brown. But in looking at the ID of the juvenile, that would fit the description much better. I am going to edit the entry to switch to masked booby juvenile. Much appreciated!
