Observation details
Large, heavy bodied, all dark petrel 10-20% larger than Flesh-footed Shearwater which one individual provided a size comparison at our last stop. While I was only able to differentiate from similar Westland by bill color pattern on close individuals, Gary mentioned that gizz including flight differences allow him to separate at a fair distance. I never did see a "white chin" on any but pale bill without a black tip allowed differentiating from Westland. Lifer
