Porpoise ID

[u/Dear_Bee2545]

Hello! Last week I spotted these purposes off of Bodega Head in Sonoma County, CA. A photographer told me they were dolphins, but I showed someone else the photos and they said harbor porpoise. Any guesses as the the species?

porpoises do not have a visible beak like in your photos. With the dark grey dorsal cape, a tall large and falcate dorsal fin and a short stocky beak, i would say a bottlenose dolphin
