I thought of that knowing that dead Buller's have been mistaken for Little
Shearwater on appearance but I don't think that included foot colour (did
it?). Buller's don't have bluish feet. Moreover, Ted thinks he may have
stretched the specimen 'too aggressively' so his measurements should if
anything be on the large size. But his 38 cm long falls well short of
Buller's at 46 cm long and wingspan of 90 cm well short of Buller's at 98
cm.
