CLOSED: Please help ID- Southeastern Indiana

Connersville, IN

This bird visited our pond last weekend, and I have been trying to identify it ever since with little success.
It was here Friday - Sunday & was gone Monday.
It is a diver & it helped us out with our bluegill overpopulation. :)
Some say it is a loon, but it doesn't look like any of the loon pictures I have seen.
I think it looks more like a Double-crested Cormorant. but, I am in the wrong location...
I do have more pictures if they are needed
Thank you for your help

It is a Cormorant.

I believe you might be right.
I looked at whatbird.com & there are double - crested cormorant birds in Indiana,
very interesting, thanks
