Hi all. I photographed the subject bird at the inlet in Boynton Beach this evening. I posted 5 photos that show the distinguishing field marks for this bird.

It was a textbook ARTE with long tail, all red bill, with a limited dark trailing edge, as well as no dark wedge present in the primaries. This combined with the unique flight style helped to separate it from COTE.

Complete checklist here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S18409252 Not much else around..

Good birding all!
