We saw this bird at Seal Harbor outside of Acadia NP Maine. My first guess is a juvenile black guillemont, but I'm just not sure-it was having a heck of a time with lunch.

I agree on black guillemot.

Thank you Richard.

Black Guillemot, except it's an adult in non-breeding plumage. If it were a juvenile, there'd be a checkerboard pattern and not the solid white wing patch. It's a very good bird; well done.
