Hi:

An adult, light-morph Pomarine/Parasitic Jaeger seen about 10 minutes ago, bathing in the middle of the larger portion of Warren Lake.

If it was a Pom it's characteristic longs twisted tail feathers were either broken off or molted away. The dark helmeted head feathers appeared to come below it's bill and it's mantle was dark, no tones of brown.. It was difficult to assess  the shape of it's remaining tail feathers. In some looks the tail feathers seemed pointed and in other looks, not so sure.

Bring the long lens
