The photos show a remarkably short primary projection, a relatively long bill, and significant white in the flanks and sides of the undertail with a narrow strip of white running down the side of the neck. More photos/angles would be awesome, but based off of Sean's photos I think this bird is quite convincing for Pacific.

If you're photographing it try to get some that depict the primary extension and projection. Either way it's a very cool bird.
