OK call me out on "photo artifacts" but then what dictates that the head color is any more accurate? And Fulmar would be quite a rarity for that lattitude. The only Cory's I  have seen from land were all quite distant but were distinct in large build, heavier flight, and back pattern, which involved a distinctly lighter head. I'm also not sure how thoroughly Manx can be ruled out from #2. I don't think I would count anything from this set but Cory's Shear for any sort of list.</blockquote>
