[Frigatebirds] Great Frigatebird (probable)

I - who saw the bird - have had very little time to check sources, but I've got one or two that suggest that black extending up the belly can only indicate Lesser.

I've never seen a frigatebird in this moult condition and maybe that is giving it the unusual, rangey, angular proportions it seemed to have, which seemed wrong for Lesser at the time
