	2316 (18 photos) 2016-02-28 Lo de Marcos, Nayarit (Nay), Mexico Basic plumage. A single bird present. Small and compact, with dark back and wings and dark legs separates it from the only similar species, Common Tern - young bird. But the character unique to the species is the dark patch that continues from the the back down in front of the wing.
