Crowned Cormorant (Microcarbo coronatus) probably

I haven't seen either species (@lintworm has though) but I'm leaning more to Reed Cormorant, mostly based on the small crest. The two species are really similar but the Crowned Cormorant has a prominent crest and a shorter tail (in this photo I think the tail length probably cannot be accurately judged due to its angle). The Crowned Cormorant is strictly marine, but the Reed Cormorant can also be found on the coast.

@Chlidonias The crest should be a breeding plumage feature (just as the red face markings lacking here). The S-African field guide mentions reed cormorants are very rare on the coast, so I would go for Crowned Cormorant with question mark. The tail length seems right, but is hard to judge from this angle.

I've put the photo into the Suliformes thread (The Zoochat Photographic Guide to Suliformes) with a "probably".

That's three photos from Giant Eland in that thread now - who would have thought a bird thread would have included three photos by Giant Eland!?

I know right @Chlidonias!? Off the top of my head I've got pretty close up Nazca booby photos that I could hopefully get around to posting. Although Ethiopia should be next! (which will also include a bunch of winged creatures!)
