I agree Bill, Buller's would be a very good fit on size and under-wing,
especially if the upper-parts were very worn which is not uncommon for birds
that die in poor condition. 

Cheers Jeff.

Ted says 'Blackish'....I found a dead Buller's SW that was most obviously 
very white underneath and appeared darker upperside (maybe because it was 
dead?...I.E. the M didn't appear that obvious at first)....wingspan is about

right
Cheers,
Bill
