Sure. I would start though with: Not a Shearwater with that overall shape and very spotted plumage pattern. Yes bill shape is different between these two groups.
I don’t know if that is the easiest field character.

Bill prob less chunky than that of Pacific. More likely Kelp Gull I reckon They are relatively common around the Illawarra.

This bird flying off Shellharbour on Tuesday, would it be a Short-tailed Shearwater, maybe a juvenile?
