Could someone please confirm whether this is a Pomarine Skua? It was seen this morning, approximately 30km offshore from Khalifa Port, Abu Dhabi. Thanks!

Thanks for the ID and notes Mark. This was the first Skua I've seen here, but we saw another this morning, distant though.
This is an Arctic Skua, Ross. Note the pointed central tail feathers and relatively slender body in the profile shot.
