I feel the written description and sketch include enough details of plumage and structure, along with the falcon-like flight style to support the identification of Parasitic Jaeger, a not unexpected species at this location.

The description of the bird's size, structure, flight, and time of occurrence seemed appropriate for PAJA to me.

Description and sketch are convincing. Other jaegers and gulls eliminated.

Structure eliminates Pomarine, and though size does not appear to eliminate LT, the amount of white in underwing is consistent with Parasitic.

The size and shape, plus time of year all sound good to me.
