This is a long shot, but if anyone can ID a bird from this terrible photo, it would be the people here.

This was taken in November 2006 in the Bahamas.
Zooming in, it looks like the bird on the right may have a fairly long decurved bill.

Thanks.

I doubt the part about the curved bill, similar patterns are seen all over the water

Hi Frozen,
I hope you don't mind but I've taken the liberty of playing with the right had bird and its a House Sparrow with something dangling out its mouth, so you did see something long and decurved

Thanks Andy - I should have thought of that as an obvious reason for what I thought I was seeing.
