Observation details

Like female S. m. dresseri but with sharply pointed and very narrow bill process. Bill process also significantly shorter. The overall plumage was paler buff and somewhat grayer, but not nearly as strikingly so as the December bird form Chatham. Photos (and video) also by Chris Wood as it as swimming right along the edge of the cala. Photos by Marshall Iliff:
