Least terns in winter have a solid black bill (yours has an orange base), and the black around the eye wraps around the back of the head (yours only is around the eyes). Least terns also have pale yellow legs, yours has bright orange. And like I mentioned on your other spotting, least terns do not winter in the US :)
