… and the black cap lead me to believe it’s a species of tern. Orange bill (except dark at tip), orange legs, no dark underneath wings at their tips… either a common tern or Forster’s tern, either one possible for an adult in breeding plumage. Need a better view of top of the neck and/or top of wings and tail to be sure. (Or more experience at identifying terns than I have!)

Great photo, btw!
