Ouch, I didn't know about the moulting problem, but there it is in Pizzey and 
Knight.

It says  "stumpy all-white tails". How stumpy?  It looked normal to me but I 
didn't really take note of it. We saw it from behind so the angle might hide 
the shortness.

I was surprised by the width of the white trailing edge but haven't seen enough 
Pacifics to put that much faith in that observation.
