I photographed this comorant in Cranford, New Jersey. I thought it was an immature but someone told me that immatures have white breasts. Any thoughts?

It looks like a dark juvenile double-crested cormorant. The breast is usually pale, but not always.
David- Agree with Isaac, young Double-crested Cormorant. The young ones always have this drab brown colouration in my experience.
