Lovely spot! I'm just back from the Galapagos myself & was lucky enough to see this magnificent bird up close, & also harassing the boobies & other birds mid air for food. Welcome to the community Paloma!
This might be the Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) female. The main difference between this and the Great Frigatebird is the shape of the white chest. The Great has a semi circle while the Magnificent is V shaped.

the untouched photos should be shown first as this is a site for collecting and IDing species and not an art gallery.
Please include the untouched photos as they are needed to help ID.
