Overall dark Sooty-type shearwater with minimal brightness in underwing: pale underwings but the primaries were contrastingly dark, seen well through the scope. This bird gave the impression of a Sooty-type bird but was off, besides in coloration; the bill color was not contrastingly pale or large in size. It flew noticeably different than the other Sooty's (as well as PFSH's) that were passing by, including a Sooty that was in the same scope view flying close to this bird, which first brought this bird to the attention of KK and made it easy to pick out for the others. The bird did not, as far as we could recall, flap once and instead was gliding comfortably in good arcs above the surface. The shape of the bird was arced and narrow-winged."
