[Hong Kong] Tern ID at Sai Kung Harbour

From the overall shape and darkness in the outer primaries, I agree with the original poster that this is a Little Tern.

The dark bill and black nape are features of non-breeding plumage.  Here’s a shot (taken 9th May 2022) which shows the shape from a similar angle, but this bird is in breeding plumage
