[Hong Kong] Tern ID at Sai Kung Harbour

Tern ID at Sai Kung Harbour

I saw this guy flying around in Sai Kung Harbour. It circled for a while before it went to the deeper waters. It was smaller than the Whiskered and White-Winged Terns we saw in the same area, and it had a longer beak compared to the other two. I strongly suspect it is a Little Tern (Sternula Albifrons) but I may be proven wrong. Would anyone help me ID this tern, I'm not an excellent photographer.

Thanks for answering! Little terns are one of my favorite terns in Hong Kong. It's a shame I couldn't take a good photo of it!
