When it comes to identifying individual birds it can be difficult and confusing…oh thank heaven for bands that gives us a positive ID on a specific bird. The bands have two sets of identical numbers and are a combination of a letter and numbers.
In this case it’s easy to see both the front and back edge of the letter and numbers…confirming it’s Pip.
Without seeing his band it would be a I think its Pip as he has a very white breast and his cere/base of the beak is much whiter than others.

On a side note…First Egg was laid at the Radisson April 17th.
