(delhibirdpix) Pygmy cormorant?

Dear Friends,

         I am attaching two pictures of a cormorant. They were taken this January. To me the bird appears to be Pygmy cormorant. It appeared to be smaller than Little cormorant, and was also much paler/brownish. It did appear to be different, but I was trying to assign it to a very young Little cormorant, as I did not expect to see anything apart from normal three types, as it seems there are no records in India for others. But when I try to identify it properly now, it appears to be a Pygmy Cormorant, rather than anything else. Any help in identification will be very helpful.

            Regards,

       Shrirang Deshingkar
