Pelecanus occidentalis
In particular lighting situations, Brown Pelicans can seem very pale. American White Pelicans are whiter than this, with black primaries and orange bills. They also lack the yellow seen on the nape here. Here's a photo of a Brown Pelican I found online that is similar to your bird: http://www.theanimalfiles.com/images/bro...
