Which Juvenile Tern Pls

Apologies but I really can't see which it is.
Was a pair flying around... got the Juvenile on the rocks & I assume is a Black-naped flying

They're both Black-naped Terns - a juvenile on the rocks and an adult flying.
For the juvenile you can see the black nape pattern and white crown, and also notice that there is no brown in the upperparts (black and grey only).
