Hi all! I'm new to birding, and as I live in DRCongo and frequently travel to Uganda & Kenya, there are apparently lots of species to see.
A little over a week ago I was down in Entebbe, Uganda where, among other birds, I snapped a few pictures of this flock of unidentified terns.

I have "Birds of Africa south of the Sahara, 2nd Ed." by Sinclair & Ryan, but I haven't been able to narrow the ID down past Gull-billed Terns, Whiskered Terns or White-winged Terns. Maybe it's a mixed flock? The variation between individuals, especially those perched, is leading me to confusion.
