Is this the same species that is currently being petetioned for listing under the endangered species act in the United States?
This is the current reference to which I refer:
[1].
I don't understand how it could go from least concern as it is listed here to a petetion for endangered if it is the same species or is there another species called the Gull-billed tern?

The petition refers only to the western population/subspecies, not to the US population as a whole, which is not at risk. Also, the "least concern" is the bird's global status, not its US status. This is a common breeding species in warm parts of Asia, Africa and Europe.
