Hello,

if forced I would opt for an Arctic Skua. Longish bill, triangular hesd, pale blaze at bill base and shape of projecting tail festhers seems good for this.

But better wait for more experiencend members that can help with a confident ID!
 
Hi there!

First, great pictures!
I believe the longish bill and the pale blaze at the bill base would rather speak for Parasitic Jaeger (Stercorarius parasiticus) rather than Great Skua. So, if forced, I´d say Parasitic Jaeger, but I ain´t no expert. I am curious about other opinions!

Cheers,

Fabian
