Species ID please?

Taken off the coast of Punta Arenas, Chile I'm not a bird guy. I'm sure I could use google to try to identify the species, but hey, it's more fun to have the zoochat community help me out! Possible Skua?

Species ID please?

      That's one of your skuas. I'd need a book to look up which ones are found in the area though.

      As it was so close to the coast it will most probably be Chilean skua, which is the most light brown of the species possible, but that is difficult to see from this distance...
