Thank you for correcting the I.D.

You are right; juvenile Lesser Frigatebirds should have white armpit spurs.

I think Geoff will post some better photos that show this bird more clearly.

Sorry for posting such a poor quality photo and causing so much confusion about the identity of this frigatebird. Luckily, we have a very constructive discussion; and through the input from bird experts, we learn more about identification of frigatebirds.
