Rynchops niger
Lol. Their beak has mandibles of different lengths. With their lower, longer mandible, they make passes skimming the water feeling for fish to eat, so they are called Black Skimmer. They hang out in colonies and call a lot and when their mouth is open enough their tongue sticks out like this guy.
