Frigate was my guess too, they are black and have extreme high aspect ratio wings, with a very distinct dihedral crook in the wings and long forked tail. They can thermal out in the lightest of lift leaving see gulls and etc. to flapping. My favorite Sea bird to watch fly.

They are famous for attacking other gulls etc, which will drop, or even regurgitate any fish onboard. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
