Maybe a double hit of #BirdOfTheDay theme:
1️⃣ #Grey in its plumage
2️⃣ Alt #RedBeaks with a Red Beak, or this is more orange? For bonus with striking legs

The common tern (\(Sternahirundo\)) is a graceful, white-bodied bird with a black cap and a red-orange bill. It is the most widespread tern in North America.  White body, black cap, gray belly, orange-red bill, black legs, and dark wingtips. Long, straight wings, forked tail, and pointed bill .

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsWideOpen, the Alt Theme is #Laridae, any of the species.
A #CommonTern #SternaHirundo is my twofer. I don’t think they can be photographed poorly.

A Common Tern, a slender white seabird in the gull family Laridae, is shown flying against a bright, nearly blank white sky. Its long, narrow wings are swept upward and outward in a graceful arc. The bird has a black cap, pale gray-white body, red-orange pointed bill, and a deeply forked tail with long trailing streamers. Its beak is open, as if calling while in flight. The overall impression is delicate, agile, and swift. Common Terns are sometimes called “sea swallows” because of their forked tails and buoyant flight. Around the Great Lakes, including Chicago’s Lake Michigan shoreline, they may be seen during migration and breeding season. They often hover briefly before diving to catch small fish. Despite their elegant appearance, they can be very bold when defending nests, swooping at intruders that get too close.

Its grey wings are down. They are bordered white. The bird's underside and neck are white and the top of its head is jet black. The beak is orange with black at the end. It has a very long tail stretched out behind.
