Avila Beach mystery - can you identify this sea creature?

Avila Beach is beautiful and ranks in my top five favorite places on Earth now. I have a ton of photos, but have a serious mystery on my hands. I took a bunch of photos from the pier but there's one creature I can't identify.


See if you can figure it out!! I know the first three....








A dive-bomber bird... very cool in action














A playful sealion...











A beautiful dolphin...









But what the heck is this????????? Whale? Shark? It's actually white, so I'm thinking whale (which Avila Beach is on the migratory path at this time of year) but Brooke is arguing with me that only whales that are in captivity have bent fins.
