Hello 👋🏻

This single individual was photographed this morning. The color of the bill, rounded wing edges and narrow neck pointed out Shag in my oppinion but I want to make sure it really is.

Thanks a lot.

I'd guess it's a shag - but, for ID, it's much much better to see the actual photos rather than a photo of a photo on a small screen. Can you send those?
