Observation details

First cycle bird. Flyby @ 1:15. First picked it up flying far offshore by its very bouyant flight style, uniformly dark wings and solid dark tail with a clear white uppertail. Long, solidly dark bill with a slight droop to the tip. Faint dusky brownish hood and hind neck bleeding down into a narrow, diffuse breast band, contrasting with a pale chin/throat and forehead. Prominent white trailing edge to the secondaries. The underwings appeared marbled rather than solidly dark. Dusky legs. Continued east and I lost view of it somewhere around Exhibition Place.
