Could it possibly be a Swallowtail Gull? Big guess on my part.

Wife, who is a master naturalist, says this is probably a Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger). Could be a juvenile, but the lighting makes it hard to tell.

I will throw my guess into the ring. Roseate Tern. I took a picture of it with my IPhone, it said House Sparrow😆. It usually works great on plants and bugs.

Turn the Tern around and turn the exposure up to turn the photo into better exposure.

Probably a common tern.

There is no question that this is a Common Tern. First, the outline and bill shape tell one this is a tern. Second, even though the colors and coloring is muted in the shot, the bill, head, and wing coloration says it is a common tern and not an Artic Tern or Rosetta Tern. The shot is enough for proper identification. And nice shot by the way.
