The better name for this would be Cinnamon Skua, which is sometimes used. I always think it is ridiculous to name a bird after a place that is not endemic for the bird. The Chilean Skua can be found in Argentina, Chile and Peru. We had ours in the Beagle Channel between Argentina and Chile on the way to Antarctica.
In good light you can see the cinnamon coloring that makes it easy to ID compared to other Skuas.
