Looks like a juvenile P. auritus for what it's worth. Was it wild or part of the collection?
Looks like a Double-crested to me too, Neil. Second-winter juvenile, should be adult & ready to breed next year.
Thanks for the help Neil & wolf. I usually put these photos up as I'm headed out the door at about 6 in the morning, so I didn't have time to pull Sibley's off the shelf.
As you'll probably see in some other pictures, this animal has a busted wing, and I think it's part of the collection along with two large gulls that are also injured. They seem to do quite well snatching fish that the seals don't eat.
Looks like Buitreraptor.
