Think this is a Common Tern by the feet and bill.

Looks like Royal Tern on the left, Common Tern in the middle (though should have red bill), and maybe Black Tern all the way on right? Not sure about that one.

Yes on Juvi Royal and Black Tern. It's the one in the middle I am not sure of.

The red legs and black shoulder definitely point to Common Tern (and rule out practically anything else). The black bill though is confusing, as it should still be red this around this time.
