    Small tern, extremely pale gray-white wings and back, only a few black primaries on an all white-gray wing which could be seen well when in flight, dark red legs with bands on both and right leg had red on white color bands, sat lower than Common and Forsters Terns as it had shorter legs, dark black bill with faint red near base, black cap was partially faded but extended well past half of the cap while all the Common Terns in non-breeding plumage had more limited black, rosy breast and upper belly stood out, also noticed it appeared to have no neck and head was pulled back into shoulders while Common and Forsters Terns head sat up more above shoulders, dark mark on shoulders pale overall unlike young Common which have black shoulders. Unlike Forsters Terns which also have pale wings as it had black primaries while other Forsters Terns present had silver or white silver primaries, unlike Common as wings much paler overall and had rosy breast unlike gray an adult common might have.
