To my understanding, a tern is a seagull but a seagull is not necessarily a tern. (It's kind of how a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn't always a square.) A tern is a subfamily of seagulls (as a beagle is a subfamily of dogs). This particular seagull is smaller than most, has a long forked tail, and thus flies more gracefully.
