Am I right with White-winged Black Tern? I'm afraid it's the only photo I have, as we were in a water taxi moving pretty quick.

Thanks,
Louis

Thanks! My initial thoughts were Black Tern but one of the only websites I found on birding in Venice mentioned White-winged Black Tern and not Black Tern hence I thought it must have been White-winged Black Tern.

The dark mark at the breast side/where the wing joins the body eliminates WWBT, as they do not show this mark.
