I am so on the fence about this bird. Points for Double-creasted are: orange in the lores seen in scope view (although some Neo's can have it); the shape of the yellow looks more rounded rather than v-shaped or pointed also the extent of yellow in the lower gular around the throat seems more like DC than Neo (my experience is Neo's have a small patch here DC's is large); the neck seems thick and the tail doesn't appear too long. Arguments for Neo include: the fact photos do not show orange lores: white border on yellow is prominent and obvious: and the breast is dark. Scott S from Kansas directed me to this article: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54b9bb6fe4b07b4a7d145b55/t/55b5881be4b07baccbccbb7a/1437960219306/Cormorant.pdf I would appreciate any comments, input or help on this puzzler.
