This bird is an immature. It displayed black wingtips in flight and has slightly 'dirty' looking primaries. The dark bill with pale tip ages it as a first summer. Juveniles would have a pale pinkish bill. The darkness around the head in most of these images is an aberration caused by a misalignment of scope and camcorder.
