After much consulting with others this bird has been ID'd as an 'Intermediate Morph' Pink-footed Shearwater. Seen out at The Petrel Station on a recent seabird tour offshore from Tutukaka, New Zealand - Pink-footed are very scarce visitors to NZ. Here's some key points on the bird from one of the seabird experts that was involved in the discussions on the ID. "A combination of key structural and plumage issues, but also based on bill shape and colour. And as being intermediate morph type of Pink-footed Shearwater, it has dusky body, and with perfect underwing pattern, having blackish lesser secondary coverts, and with greater primary coverts & median secondary coverts having dark outer webs and subterminal marking..., as well as dark under tail coverts, and so on... Clearly ID the bird as PFS". We did consider Intermediate Morph Wedge-tailed Shearwater (which would have also been a scarce seabird for NZ), but overall structure not right and the Wedge-tailed bills are overall thinner.
