Steve – is that 3rd image (bird flying away banking with wings 11 and 5 o’clock) the same bird? It appears to be longer-winged in that image if so. Also, where exactly where you when you say “NE Pacific”? Mick On Monday, 2 June 2014 6:08 PM, Nikolas Haass <n.haass1@uq.edu.aun.haass1@uq.edu.au>> wrote: Hi Steve, What about Murphy’s Petrel. I guess the face is a bit too white and the primary bases not extremely reflective. But maybe that fits still within the range of Murphy’s?
