Tern from Richards Bay - South Africa (1 Viewer)

HI all.

I just went through some old archives and found a video clip of a tern we took in Richards bay 5 February 2007. It was seen at the sand flats at Richards bay harbour with Lesser Crested Terns but this bird seemed to have a particularly reddish-ornage bill with a lighter tip. This was a month or so after the Elegant Tern dissapeared from Cape Town???

Is this just a Lesser-crested???
