Little Tern or Fairy Tern?

I saw a few of these tiny Terns on the week-end up at Tin Can Bay (near Gympie in Qld) but can't be sure what sort of Tern it is. I included the Gull to give an idea of the size.

Tempted to go with Little Tern (nonbreeding) because of the black bill and legs?

+2 for Little Tern because it is so small.

Sorry guys but I edited the image and inadvertently removed it. I have replaced it this morning with a different image.
