This young female Lesser Frigatebird (Fregate ariel) saw that the Crested Tern (Thalasseus bergii) had taken a fish, and came down to try to steal it. May be hard to resolve in the jpeg, but the Frigatebird has hold of the Tern's tail. I think the Tern had already swallowed the fish, and eventually got away. You can see the white 'armpits' which help to ID this from the Great Frigatebird.
