Observation details

**Distant Calonectris flying with a C.d.borealis and near a GRSH. Slimmer-winged, longer-tailed, perhaps darker-headed than COSH in direct comparison, as seen in poor photos. Underwing pattern difficult to properly assess. Seems plausible for Cape Verde, but sadly was very distant. Bird ended up continuing SW. Never came close.
