Hi All, I am 99% sure this is a Wedge-tailed Shearwater. The tail is protruding out behind the right wing on this bird suggesting that it probably isn't a Short-tailed. The frame of the bird also seems too light for a Sooty which tend to be bulkier in body. From my experience, there are Wedge-tailed Shearwaters that exhibit lighter feathers underwing and the plumage in this species can be varied. Just my humble opinion.... Cheers, Inger |
