Orca?

Spotted this on Emerald Beach, NSW.

Think it could be an Orca but not 100% sure sorry about the zoom quality.

Any ideas if it isnt an Orca?

And this is sad because? Sorry I am pretty new in the topic I don't know why people would prefer orcas

Orcas are just viewed as a more interesting creature to see for most people. I personally would absolutely adore seeing either one, but seeing an orca beats seeing a humoback whale because orcas are extremely rare to see in my country while humpback whales are a bit less rare.

Looks a lot like a humpback that may be trying to free itself from something.

Most of the humpbacks you’ll see in NSW will have a lot of white on their bellies and bottoms of their fins. It’s really cool to see up close in the water because the white stands out so much against the rest of the water :)

Many humpbacks have white stomachs :)
