Sterna dougallii
Tern and Fish.. I love so much this picture. I took this from my way to Rakata Island - Krakatoa - Ujung Kulon National Park, West Java Indonesia.
OK, I just could not see any sign of the pink which would have given that away. Perhaps you can post the other picture also, you can have up to 6 per spotting and the quality does not matter.
Thank you Malcom, thank you Venus.. I will look again other clear picture I have, and will conform the ID. Thank you Harsha Singh. :)
I used my Field Guide to Birds of South-east Asia to find this one. The Black-naped only has black on the outer primary, this bird has it on all. The clincher for me is the dark leading edge to the lesser coverts which is clearly visible and only found on Common and Roseate.
