Sandwich Tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis) 06 March 2026. Aldea El Paredon, Escuintla, Guatemala. Non-breeding plumage. Note the distinctive black bill with yellow tip. The yellow culmen is interesting and this bird would probably be dismissed as a hybrid Sandwich X Elegant Tern if seen in California. This is the North American race "T. s. acuflavidus" also known as Cabot’s Tern with shorter, fatter bill and darker wings cf. the nominate race breeding in Europe. Genetic studies found that Cabot's Tern is more closely related to Elegant Tern than to European Sandwich Tern suggesting that Cabot's Tern be recognized as a separate species. However this recommendation has not been widely adopted pending further research on South American forms (Cayenne Tern). Formerly in the genus "Sterna."

Immatures are white or dappled and take two years to mature. Its closest relatives are uncertain. It is unique in that it is the only heron in which the immature plumages are white. Primarily for this reason it was formerly placed in the monotypic genus "Florida". Evidence from hybridization suggests the Snowy Egret may be its closest relative.
