Bah humbug
I think the point is that it could be either species, depending on how the individual sees the photo. Certainly there is no 'clear cut' feature visible which puts it as either one. Both species occur in the area it would seem.
It's a blurry long-distance pic of a diving bird (we think ). Too much can't be read into any of it really, as the camera can and does lie, and single shots can seem to show a pose which might not be truly representative of the bird actually out there.
Interesting to note the last few comments re the id on the above tread, not sure how experienced the OP is with divers, and getting better views in the future they may become happier with their initial id suspicions. Or they may not.
