I would think Great based on the skin pattern below the eye, it extends more than the images of [url=http://orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?p=7&Bird_ID=1085&Bird_Family_ID=&pagesize=1]Japanese[/url] on the OBC website.

Thank you Dylan. I think you are right. I was distracted by the extensive white colour on the face and along the front of neck. After comparing more photos from the web site you suggested, I concur with your view that it is Great Cormorant, and the white colour may suggest that it is immature?
