A young albatross that was seen yesterday in Norway and today in Sweden.
It was initially id'ed as Black-browed, but it's discussed whether it's a Yellow-billed, since it has a combination of darkish bill and rather much white on the underwing.
Can a young BBA with dark bill show this much white un the underwing?
On the other hand, can a young YBA have black wing edges like this bird?
