Continental Cormorant P.c. sinensis near Lewes Brooks
Apparently pure carbo must have a gular pouch angle of less than 65 degrees and pure sinensis an angle greater than 76 degrees. Reassuringly the above individual's gular pouch angle looks closer to 85-90 degrees. Anything between 65 degrees and 76 degrees is considered not safely identifiable and is thought to include some hybrids. Here's an illustration of the all important gular pouch angle included from Newson et al. "Subspecific differentiation and distribution of Great Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo in Europe".
